Interested in supporting the library through volunteering and fundraising?
Join our Friends of the Library Group! The Friends’ group has recently received a generous donation of $10,000 to kick off their fundraiser for the new library location. You are encouraged to join in on the fund drive by making donations to the Craigmont Community Library Friends, addressed to the Craigmont Community Library, P.O. Box 191, Craigmont, ID 83523. 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. We are always accepting gently used books for our annual sale and all donations.

all day every Friday! All ages welcome! Historic mural on display
The mural, which depicts the area’s historic past, was formerly hanging on the exterior wall of the antique store in our community, and is now proudly hanging on the library’s back interior wall greeting our patrons as they enter. It was trimmed down, just inches off, to perfectly fit into its new space. Visitors reflect on what the mural means to them and their families and appreciate that it will now be preserved at their library and enjoyed by many.
