Friends of the Civic Center Library

Who We Are

Friends of the Civic Center Library consist of dues paying members and an all-volunteer board consisting of:

​

  • Shelley Cooper

  • Penny Wells

 

Once a year the board hosts the Civic Center Friends Annual Membership Meeting at the library with a wine and cheese reception followed by a speaker and topics the interest/business. The board meets on an as-needed basis throughout the year.

What We Do

The original purpose of our chapter was to support the Civic Center Library, and it still is, but more financially than politically. This is done through the presentation of an annual “Wish List” by the branch manager, Lynne Maes, to the board, reflecting the needs of various areas of the library: California Room, Children’s Room, Teen area, and Adult Reading Room. We have funded shelving, furniture, machines, reading materials, plants, and activities. The board raises money for these projects through income from dues and donations.
