• The ongoing purchase of library materials, such as books, magazine subscriptions, audio and video tapes, CDs, and books on tape.
  
• Special programs for children, such as puppet shows, storytellers, summer reading programs, the annual bookmark contest and more.
  
• The purchase of new furniture, bookshelves, and other equipment.
  
• Internet training, and access through books, magazines, web sites, and databases.

The Friends accomplished the above and much more through its membership and through the efforts of a dedicated few who operate a twice monthly used book sale at the Community Center. This is an excellent opportunity to recycle your old books, find some new bargains, and support your library at the same time.

As funding for libraries continues to decline at the county level, it is incumbent upon each community and each citizen therein to play a role in keeping our library current, vital, and open. So, BE A FRIEND and join
the Friends of the Lafayette Library today.
