 OUR MISSION:

The Blair Public Library FRIENDS GROUP
 supports, promotes and enhances the services and goals of the Blair Public Library. There are four points to fulfilling this mission:

1.  Being an Advocate

2.  Providing Special Funding

3.  Promoting Programs

4.  Volunteering

Members help to ensure that the Blair Public Library continues to fulfill the needs of the residents of Blair now and for the future generations.  Friends of the Library believe that our public library provides important information, enriching entertainment and collective expressions of our culture. Through novels and newspapers, picture books and how-to guides, magazines, maps and movies — our library shelves are filled with facts, stories and ideas — keys to an enlightened people. Friends of the Library know this and PROMOTE IT !

  • g an Advocate

ADVOCACY

As Friends, we love our library!! We celebrate it as one of our great city resources by promoting its use, function and importance to all ages in the community. Friends experience first hand, the value of our library and share it with others. Help us spread the word!

FUNDING

Through simple fundraisers like the book sales and membership dues, the Friends provide funding for special library projects that normally are not covered by the budget. The Friends help purchase special equipment and fund special library programs.

PROGRAMMING

Our library resources impact our lives in many ways. We share these experiences through public programs and members’ events.  Within the wide variety of activities, there are many ways to share talents and interests by helping make events happen.  Experience, learn and enjoy!

VOLUNTEERING

There are many ways that Friends are involved in the Library. It can be as simple as greeting people at a library program or as engaged as coordinating the annual book sale. Imagine how YOU can help the library!!!  All ages are welcomed and encouraged to participate. We all need a little help from our friends!
