Local Chapter of the Friends of the Library
The Rangeview Library District recognizes the critical role the community plays in supporting libraries. The Friends of the Library is key to building that support.
In an effort to help the Friends grow, local chapters are being established at the individual branches. These chapters will be part of the overall organization, but will meet and operate out of their communities.
Local chapters will have the opportunity to promote specific projects at their branches. Thus they can truly make a difference in their libraries.
Some possibilities for local chapters are:
- Run branch book sales
- Establish a Friends gift shop
- Create community awareness
- Design new marketing materials
- Support book clubs
- Help restructure the organization
Pre-school Story Time:
10:30 on Thursday and 10:30 on Friday. Pre-schoolers ages 3 - 6 are welcome.
