    Some time in the 1940s, largely through the efforts of Mrs. E. H. Buxton and Mrs. Howard Solon, an organization known as Friends of the Library came into being. Despite being a valuable addition to the Library, the organization was still short lived. Early in 1967 a re-organization meeting was held. The revived "Friends of the Library" was recognized for their desire to enhance the cultural interests of the community, and improving book service to hospitals and other shut-ins.

    Today the Friends exist as a non-profit group of volunteers who are dedicated to promoting the Library through fundraisers, assisting staff, and other support.
