Friends of the Two Harbors Public Library


The mission of the Friends of the Two Harbors Public Library is to promote excellence in library services by working with the Library Board and staff to support the library, its services and programs. To carry out this mission, the focus of the group is on advocacy, fundraising, public relations, and volunteer service.

What is Friends of the Library?
The Friends of the Library is a non-profit group formed to help our library by increasing awareness of library services, supporting service with donations, and by increasing library volunteerism.

Is Friends of the Library a national organization?
Friends groups are popular nationwide, but are autonomous and locally-organized.

Why haven't I heard of the Friends before now?
Our group formed in January 1997 and is officially incorporated with the State of Minnesota...but we need members! If you value your public library, and would like to help support quality library service, please consider joining the Friends of the Library.

What has the Friends group done so far?
Some of the services funded by the Friends of the Library: Are there dues?
Very nominal. Here's a list of the categories: How much of a commitment would I have to make?
As little or as much as you like. We value any participation, either with time or money. Obviously, the more people help out, the less burden falls on others!

Sounds great. How do I join?
Call us at the Two Harbors Library (834-3148), or e-mail us with your name, address and phone number.

Thanks for reading our page. We hope you will consider becoming a "Friend" of the Library!
