Your membership in the Friends of the Copper Queen Library encourages and promotes a healthy community. The Friends of the Copper Queen Library was organized in 1988 by then-librarian Marge Rodriguez to bring together persons interested in books, libraries, and the quality of life in Bisbee. This group focused public attention on the extension and improvement of the library services, facilities, and needs. The Friends is a nonprofit organization. All gifts, books, collections, endowments, bequests, and other moneys go to the library as donations.
All members are unpaid volunteers.
In recent years, the Friends have purchased books for the children's collection and assisted with special programs for adults and children. Funds for these projects come from a variety of sources including membership dues, the annual Chocolate Tasting, and book sales. Through your involvement with the Friends of the Copper Queen Library, you do exactly that. This is a fun time for babies, toddlers, preschool age children and their parents. Bates Corlieu leads this program and the kids and their parents just love her.
