Good Libraries Need Good Friends!

Join the Friends

The Friends of the Library would like YOU to join them! This is an active, supportive group that helps the Library in many ways. Your membership dues, along with other fund-raising efforts such as Used Book Sales and Friends Gift Store sales, support Library projects and events. Funds raised by the Friends go toward annual support for the Summer Reading programs, Battle of the Books, and most recently, the newly digitized Northville Record, which allows for online searching for newspaper articles. Be as active as you wish, volunteer to help with Summer Reading sign up, used book sales and much more.

The role of the Friends of the Library is to advocate for the Library and help raise funds to enhance the Library.  There are many different ways to get involved, including volunteering for various Library activities such as the Summer Reading Program, Battle of the Books, and Used Book sales.  Please consider joining this active support group!  Download Membership Application (PDF)

Friends Funding Support for the Library
