Mission Statement
The Friends of the Priestley-Forsyth Memorial Library are dedicated to promoting the library as a center for education, cultural enrichment and entertainment in the community. The group seeks to develop a core of volunteers to energize community support, raise funds through public and private sources, and serve as ambassadors of the library to the community at large.
Become a “Friend”
Funding for the Library is derived from the generosity of our community through donations, fund raising events and annual membership dues.
Become a Friend so that we may continue to achieve our goals to serve all residents of our community and surrounding region. Allow the library to maintain a program of service which locates information, guides reading, organizes and interprets material for people of various backgrounds and stimulates thinking and intellectual development in individuals of any age.
You can also help by assisting with or participation in our many fund raising events such as the Annual Book Sale and Annual Derby Day.
