Friends of the Library

Libraries need Friends - your efforts are important!

Friends of the Cornelius Library members and volunteers are dedicated to supporting the library through volunteer activities, donations, and fundraising to help the library be a successful part of the community.

The Friends are funded by annual dues paid by members and by proceeds from used book and t-shirt sales. Other funding comes from project grants and partner programs like Fred Meyer Rewards and BottleDrop. (See below for more information.)

The Friends of the Library provide critical funding for special programs, including:

• Annual Summer Reading Challenge
• Special children's programs and supplies
• Technology
• Cultural celebrations
