If you have experienced the rich rewards that come from years of free exchange of books, videos, audio materials and ideas through the use of Lake County Public Library...

And if you have ever wanted to see the Library's services strengthened and enlarged...

...Then you are in every sense of the word a FRIEND of the Library.

This is an invitation to join the recognized FRIENDS of the Lake County Public Library and become an active supporter of the Library.

The FRIENDS is an independent citizens' organization dedicated to assist in the development of the Lake County Public Library into one of the finest community libraries.

Through your membership in the FRIENDS, you would be contributing to the acquisition of books, video and audio materials, equipment, and other library materials for the entire community.

The FRIENDS, by spreading knowledge of the Library, will enlarge its place in Lake County's cultural, civic, scientific and business life, and increase its daily use in the community.

As a FRIEND, you would be encouraging gifts of books and special collections to the Lake County Public Library which would be lost to the public were it not for your support.

Your FRIENDS organization runs an in-house Book Sale Room, open three days a week, and offers an opportunity, through annual book sales to enrich library resources and secure library equipment for purposes of public use and enjoyment.

Membership dues to the FRIENDS, as well as monetary gifts and book contributions, are deductible for income tax purposes.

Another -- more personal -- benefit of being a FRIEND, is the opportunity to meet other Lake County Public Library patrons who are equally interested in supporting the Library.

The quality of our Library depends on your participation. Your support will ensure continued quality library service.

Be a FRIEND and Join Today!!
