Statement of Purpose
The Christian County Friends of the Library is an active, growing organization dedicated to the improvement and expansion of the Christian County Library. Our #1 priority is to provide additional funding for items and services not covered by the library's county budget. We acquire these funds through various fund raisers throughout the year. We invite you to participate in the activities of the Friends of the Library. It's FUN! It's great for meeting people! Get involved! Join us today!!!!!!
