Friends of the Library

The mission of the Friends of the Lillie M. Evans Library District is to support the needs of the Library in a variety of ways.  We strive to enhance the available resources of our library to meet current and future needs of our community.

Friends meetings are usually quarterly.  The Friends host the library book sale in the month of August.
