The Friends of the Ellsworth Public Library are community members working on behalf of the library to raise funds and increase community involvement in the library.
Volunteers always have a splendid time at the book sale. Thank You to all who participated in these events because through your participation we raise funding for the many programs not funded by the city. If you can volunteer but were not called please leave a name and phone number at the circulation desk or get it touch with Melanie Zador.
The summer programming was diverse and a lot of fun for all. Your donations made it happen. For current programming please check our newsletter and the library web site/Facebook.
