Support the Library
>FRIENDS OF
Our Friends Group is a group of citizen volunteers that are associated on behalf of the Frankford Public Library. Our purpose is to be of service to our Library and the community it serves. We also work with other community groups and library staff. Our goals include:
- Fund raising - For major projects (new building) or continuing library needs (new equipment, materials).
- Services - Volunteer efforts in support of library activities (programs, home bound support, etc.).
- Public Relations - Telling others in our community about the library and its services and activities.
- Advocacy - Serving as a citizen lobby, speaking in support of the library's efforts to local, county, state and federal governing bodies.
- Develop & Share - Help develop programs of community interest and share the fun of being involved with the library through volunteerism.
Some examples of FRIENDS (FOFPL) activities are (but not limited to):
- Book sales
- Garage sales
- Arts & craft sales & Auctions
- Town fairs
- Library product sales
- Open houses & tours
- Book bags, gift items, etc. & much, much more!!!!
To become a FRIEND you can pay your modest dues and do nothing else, except know you are supporting a worthwhile organization -OR- "join in and have some fun". We meet at the Frankford Public Library on the last Monday of each month at 7:00 pm.
Volunteering is the gift that gives twice: to those you can help AND yourself. Please join us.
The library participates with other Sussex libraries as part of the Delaware Community Foundation. If you are considering providing a philanthropic gift, your contributions to the Foundation can assist us with extra operating funds, and at the same time, increase the Foundation’s ability to award grants to worthwhile projects in Delaware like libraries!
As you consider your legacy to those who come after you, you might wish to make a gift of money or appreciated securities to the library through the Foundation or set up a charitable trust arrangement.
Frankford Library is begining a capital campaign to raise money to expand the library. We would be happy to have you contribute to the Building Fund.
