The Library has a volunteer group called the Friends wherein members of our community can help the Library achieve its objectives and generate community support by:

• creating interest in library resources and activities
• fostering the idea that the Library is an active and dynamic cultural, educational and recreational force in the community with its presence at events:
  • Memorial Day Parade (May)
  • Community Fest, Jefferson Park (4th of July)
  • Otto Grunski Family Festival (July)
  • Fox Jazz Fest (Labor Day Weekend)
  • Living Green Wisconsin (September)
  • Fox Cities Marathon, Water Station (September)
  • Holiday Celebration (December)
• encouraging and promoting the donation of gifts and patronage of the Library's Used Book Sales
• providing knowledgeable and willing support for library activities.
   

Smart shoppers throughout the area find fantastic bargains at the Friends' Used Book Sales. Donated and discarded books, DVDs, CDs, videos, and audiobooks are available from $.25 - $1.00. Money from these Sales is used to underwrite costs for reading programs, speakers, performances, equipment and other expenses not covered by the operating budget.

Membership in the Friends of the Menasha Public Library is free! Just by owning a Library card entitles you to membership. If you would like information about volunteer opportunities as a Friend, please call hannah [at] menashalibrary [dot] org (Kathy Hannah) at 967-3690.
