Friends Of Galeton Public Library Reorganizing

The Friends of the Galeton Public Library are having a re-organizational meeting on Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the Library.

The Friends of the Galeton Public Library started 6 years ago in 2006. They have raised money for the Summer Reading Program, purchased new children’s books, blinds for the office window, helped with the landscaping around the Library and much more with their spring hanging basket sale, ham and turkey sandwich sale and by picture sales.

“Friends”are civic-minded patrons who recognize that a good library is central to a good community. Friends help raise library funds for special projects, help promote library awareness, and help expand and improve library service for the community.

If you can give a little time to volunteer at events or at the library, help with landscaping,give ideas and suggestions for programs and fundraisers please come and join this worthwhile group and help support a great community resource for all ages the Galeton Public Library.
