  <body>&lt;p&gt;The Friends support the library through fundraising events and outreach services to the larger community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tthe Friends hold&amp;nbsp;annual book sales and support the library by funding programming and&amp;nbsp;by purchasing items such as an outdoor&amp;nbsp;picnic area, comfortable interior seating,&amp;nbsp;wood shelving, a diaper changing station in the ladies' restroom, and more. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the last&amp;nbsp;5 years the Friends&amp;nbsp;have spearheaded a community effort to support a local needy family during the winter holiday season. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New members are always welcome and persons willing to assume leadership roles are especially needed. Information is available at the library. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The quarterly meetings for 2009&amp;nbsp;will be held at 7 pm on the following Thursdays:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;March 5, June 4, September 3, and December 3. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
