The Friends actively fundraise to support important library programs, such as the Summer Reading programs and the Garden Club, and to purchase needed equipment for the library. Examples of our fundraising are the on-going "Bookstore Under the Stairs," frequent silent auctions, and the annual membership drive.
In addition, the Friends hold an annual Author of the Year contest, open to all residents of Morgan County, and present an annual "Best Friend of the Year" award.
