Interested in supporting the library through volunteering and fundraising? 

Join our Friends of the Library Group!

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 2:30p in the library.
We have one major fundraiser a year, our Books & Bites Sale on the 1st Saturday in May in conjunction with the City-Wide Yard Sale.
​
Our new goal, after we received permission from the City of Craigmont, is to move the library across the street to 113 W Main!  And also install all new, cleverly designed book shelves in our library. This is a big project and we welcome all new members that would be willing to help us move forward and reach our goal.

We are always accepting gently used books for our annual sale and all donations.
