Friends of the Dormann Library

Mission Statement

The mission of the Friends of the Dormann Library is to support the library through fundraising, education, and promotion of maximum utilization of library resources.

What is a Friend of the Library?
Friends of the Library promote, encourage, and embrace the work of their local libraries through a myriad of activities, which include fundraising, garnering support for library projects, sponsoring special programs for adults and children, volunteering where needed, and keeping the library in the forefront of their communities.

Friends groups are nonprofit organizations which raise a large portion of their funds through bake sales, membership campaigns, and special community events.

Friends are community members who care deeply about their libraries, and who unselfishly use their imaginations, energies, and experience to strengthen and expand the role of their local library.
