In the past almost 20 years, the group has successfully provided important and valued services to Dimond Branch Library.
1. Book sale & fund-raising– we sponsor an ongoing book sale with low prices for both children’s and adult books to encourage reading.
2. Encouraging donations–The Friends have coordinated the tax deductible donations of a number of community members. The donations have been used at staff request for chairs, books, computers, special shelving, and equipment. We are now a 501(c) 3 organization and can accept donations directly.
3. Supporting library programs by paying for local activities. We fund most of the Tuesday evening family programs during the summer plus other special programs.
4.. Community outreach such as having a table to give out information the Friends of Sausal Creek Native Plant Sale or National Night Out in August and having an outreach table and free children’s book giveaway at the local Oaktoberfest.
5. Adopting and maintaining the library garden including ivy removal, mulching , pruning and keeping the emergency exit area clear.
