About the Friends

November 2013


Friends of the Library are people who value the service of public libraries and volunteer to help.

We are dedicated to the support and promotion of the Kimberley Public Library. We also partner with Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy and support literacy initiatives in the community.

Although the Friends do not buy books for the Library, we supplement what cannot be provided by the library budget with funds, materials, equipment and services.  Friends decide how to spend their money in conjunction with the Library Director and the Library Board of Trustees.

Our goal:
To bring together a group of community members who value libraries and who are willing to share their energy, expertise and resources in support of their library.


Our Objectives:
To promote the programs and service of our library within the community.
To encourage bequests, memorial gifts and other donations to our library.
To coordinate and participate in promotional and fundraising events.
Friends are a “connecting link” between the Library and the Community.


President: Paula N.
Bookstore Volunteer co-ordinator:  Shannon B.
