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)
