I would like to acknowledge the service of the Friends of the Mill Creek Library. The Friends is a group of citizens who volunteer to provide essential support to the Mill Creek Library. Their purpose is to create awareness of the library in the community and promote appreciation of library collections and services. You probably know them best as the people who hold the two used book sales at the library each year.
The library directly benefits from the services of this dedicated group, which works year-round raising money to support the programs offered at the library. Notably, this group supports library services to children by providing supplies for story times, decorations for the library and refreshments for special programs. The Friends support the annual Summer Reading Program by paying for special guest programmers and buying a paperback book for each child who reaches their reading goals.
Their support is by no means limited to supporting children’s services. They support adult services by hosting a monthly reading club and by presenting workshops, lectures and author programs throughout the year. They also fund extra furnishings and supplies that support the library.
The Friends are vital to the success of our community library. Contact the library for more information about donating your used books or joining this dynamic and beneficial group.
