Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Parchment Community Library are men and women who value the services the library provides to our community, and who participate in fund-raising events to support library programs.

The Friends meet at the library on the 3rd Monday of the month at 2:00 pm, in the following months:

February, March, June, July, September, October, November, and December

(December’s meeting is held on the Monday following the first Wednesday of the month)

We Make A Difference!

In recent years, the Friends have raised several thousand dollars a year for new equipment, programming, and materials.

Renewed Book Page

The Friends renewed the library’s subscription to “Book Page,” a monthly publication available to library patrons for free.

Paid for Programming

The Friends paid for library programming for adults and children, including the Summer Reading Program.

Grew the Collection
