Friends of the Library
FRIENDS OF DOUGLAS LIBRARY
The Friends of Douglas Library are book lovers, information seekers, readers, listeners, and music and movie buffs. We treasure ideas and value the public library as a vital community resource. Through used book sales held four times a year, our ongoing Friends boutique in the library, and a variety of other fund raising events, we provide materials, services and equipment for the library including:
· New books, audio books, DVDs and magazines
· Museum passes
· Special equipment and computers
· Summer reading programs for children
· Adult programs
· Children’s special events
The Friends are a major non-profit volunteer support group for the Douglas Library. We are autonomous from the Douglas Library Association, the Board of Trustees, and the Town of Hebron.

Our annual meeting will be held on June 11 at a Friend’s house. Guests and new members are always welcome at our meetings, as are all who have an interest in joining our endeavors.
