Who falls in the category of Friends of the Library? Does that just mean a TSCPL card holder?

Hi, thanks for the comment. A Friend of the Library is someone who supports the library through annual membership dues and participation at Friends events. A Friends membership starts at $20 for adults and $3 for kids (aka Junior Membership). Call Mary at 580-4445 to become a member. Many Friends of the Library members also have library cards. And, all are welcome to shop the Bag Day Book Sale.
