complement the Library’s goals and objectives.
• To stimulate interest in the Library and promote the use of the Library’s resources
• To sponsor cultural and related programs that are of interest to the community
• To provide hands-on or in-kind service to the library
• To encourage gifts, endowments and memorials to benefit the Library
• To be an advocate for the Library’s services
• To be an informed, active citizen lobby to advocate for the Library with public and
elected officials, including local officials, County Commissioners, State and U.S
legislators
