To support, promote, and advocate for excellence in library materials, programs, equipment, and facilities for ourselves and the future…
That’s what Friends are for!
How Do I Get Involved?
The Friends of the Library are always looking for volunteers to assist with book sales and mini golf. If you wish to volunteer in any capacity, please leave your name and contact information at the front desk or email us at friends@cherryvalleylib.org. You may also fill out a volunteer application and our volunteer coordinator will contact you to discuss available opportunities.
The Friends hold meetings quarterly to discuss upcoming fundraisers and projects that you can get involved in.
