The Friends of the Pauline Haass Library is a voluntary, non-profit organization which has actively supported and helped the library serve the community since 1980.
In the recent past, the Friends have purchased computers for the children’s study/computer room, bought a new fax machine for the library’s workroom, and provided funding for children's reading programs.
The Friends are currently concentrating on offering free educational & entertainment programs for adults, raising funds through their popular ongoing book sale and annual plant sale, and providing the funding for prizes for the teen summer reading programs.
The Friends normally meet on the 3rd Monday of every other month. Please see our online calendar for specific dates.
