Friends of the Avon-Washington Township Public Library
Purpose:
The purpose of this organization shall be to maintain an association of persons interested in libraries; to focus public attention on the library; to stimulate the use of the library’s resources and services; to receive and encourage gifts, endowments, and bequests to the library; to support and cooperate with the library in developing library services and facilities for the community; and to support the freedom to read as expressed in the American Library Association Bill of Rights.
Fundraising:
The Friends of the Library conducts fundraisers such as an on-going sale table and book sales twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays (except for November and December when one sale is held). The funds raised support programs at the library and purchase items that the library needs. Meeting room signs, prizes and snacks for reading programs, and flowers for the entry pots are examples of the fundraising. Also, the funds help purchase books for a book discussion group, provide stipends for performers at family events and speakers at staff in-service meetings, and pay for the publication of the library newsletter and e-nouncements online. In addition, a contribution is made to the library endowment fund annually.
