Meet Our Library Volunteers! |
|
We have been taking time to introduce you to some of our departments here at the Library, but there is another group that we would like to showcase. We have a very special group of people who selflessly devote their free time to helping us out across all departments and in any way they can. |

The Friends of the Louisville Public Library is a 501c3 organization whose mission is to support the Louisville Public Library. All discarded Library materials go the the Friends of the Library for their monthly books sales, and they also accept donations of books, CDs, DVDs and other items. The book sales often feature vinyl albums, puzzles and other items, all at reasonable prices. Besides the book sales, they maintain a permanent book sale on shelves in the Reading Room at the Library. The Friends of the Library then uses that money to fund special projects at the Library. In 2020, the Friends purchased a desktop computer for the Communications Department at the Library, contributed to new signage in the Library building, and paid to paint the new Library Holds Pickup Lockers, currently located at the Nimishillen No. 1 Fire station on Broadway Avenue in Nimishillen Township. The Friends also bought new Christmas lights for the Library for Light Up the Library, and Friends members helped write Letters from Santa. The Friends regularly contribute to events at the Library, like candy donations for Trick or Treat or crafting materials for Santa Day, and they often volunteer their time to work these events. |
