Who are the Friends?
The Friends of the Library are community members who love libraries and want to help make Marvin Memorial Library the best it can be. They raise money to support library programs and activities. Interested in becoming a Friend? We’d love to have you join us!
How do the Friends of MML support the library?
Book sales are one of the main ways the Friends raise money to support the library’s needs and special projects. Throughout the year, they also hold other fundraisers, such as Soup and Sandwich Night, the O’Charley’s Pie Raffle, and ongoing Lobby Book Sales.
