*We are in need of volunteers to "reorganize"
the Friends of the Waterville Public Library group.
We are looking for a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer
and anyone else who would like to be involved.*

Who Are We?

The Friends of the Library is a group of citizens in our community who are concerned with the library's well-being: its active expansion and participation in community life. They believe that good library service is important to everyone.

What Do We Do?

The Friends organize gifts of time, talent and money in ways most beneficial to the library, as seen by the staff and trustees. Examples of these include:  Finding ways to raise money for the library and library programs, providing refreshments at library events, helping with annual book sales, delivering books to shut-ins, making posters for up-coming events, assisting with adult and/or children's programs.

In the past the Friends group has organized and ran the Annual Book Sale and the Holiday Craft Fair. They have donated a television and DVD player and donated money for the childrens summer programs.

The purpose of this organization shall be to maintain an association of persons interested in libraries; to focus public attention on the library; to stimulate the use of the library's resources and services; to encourage gifts, endowments and bequests to the library; to support and cooperate with the library in developing library services and facilities for the community; and to support the freedom to read as expressed in the American Library Association Bill of Rights.

If you have any questions about the group, need more information, have any ideas for the group, would like to sit in on a meeting or would like to take on the task of "reorganizing" the Friends group please
