You could say that the City is our biggest Friend since they provide the majority of our funding. However, the amount we receive from the City is not even enough to cover minimal salaries. Books don't even enter that equation. That's why Friends memberships are so vital to the operation of the library. There are three levels of memberships and each has benefits.
Basic membership includes a subscription to the newsletter and notification of special events.
The mugs are sure to become collectors items as Commerce continues to grow. Shelves, tables and computer stands for the new workstations were also purchased. We've added nearly 650 patrons in the last year. We're working hard to provide the materials and services our patrons are asking for, but, unfortunately, sometimes it's difficult, though we've tried to come up with some creative solutions. The Commerce Public Library is located at 1210 Park Street, next to the Post Office.
