Friends' funds also help to purchase books, equipment and furnishings for the library.
Friends have four regular meetings a year, with occasional special meetings.
At the April meeting, Friends meet to celebrate accomplishments, review activities, elect officers and socialize. This meeting includes a program or speaker. Friends activities have included a used book sale annually during the Fall Sidewalk Days, The TALK book discussion program, sponsoring speakers, supporting Kansas Library Month, and providing volunteers for library projects.
