The Friends provide financial support to buy books and other materials for the library’s collection, purchase needed items of equipment or furniture and help sponsor library programs. The Friends promote and advocate for the Library by raising awareness of library resources and provide refreshments for weekly summer music programs, classic movie series and other events.
The Used Book Store, located at 32 Everett Street right down the street from the Library. The bookstore is the Friends' primary fundraiser and is staffed 100% by volunteers. Bookstore shelves are stocked with used books on a wide range of topics, best sellers, books by North Carolina authors, oldies and autographed books, children’s books, puzzles, DVDs, CDs and magazines. All items have been donated. Donated materials and volunteers are always needed and can be brought inside during business hours.
