PROMOTE community awareness and encourage the full use of the library, its services and its resources.
SUPPORT the development, growth and improvement of the library resources, services and facilities.

Your membership dues help fund:

excellent reading programs for all ages-children, teens and adults,
presentations, lectures, films and educational events for all ages,
the purchase of some equipment and technology upgrades to meet the non-budgeted needs of the library,
special projects, more diverse and inclusive programs and exhibits,
scholarships.
