| USING THE LIBRARY

| ABOUT US
|
GET INVOLVED
|
| |
|
| |
|
The Friends are a group of library users who
appreciate libraries and what they bring to communities
for adults, teens and children. We contribute our time
and money to support the Library and its programs. |

How Do We Help? |
Traditionally
the Friends:
-
Raise funds to
provide extra items not in the library budget, as
well as for special events
-
Collect, sort and
sell the books and media at the Library’s
semi-annual Book Sales
-
Plan events for the
library – cultural, educational, crafts, and entertainment
-
Enrich the
Children’s Summer Reading Program with shows and
materials
-
Provide and
serve refreshments at library events

Major past
contributions include funding:
- the building of the Marx Local History Room
the restoration of the Paxinosa
Inn
painting
- the
conservation of the oil portrait of Easton resident
and signer of the Declaration of Independence,
George Taylor
- the conservation and
framing of the Penn Patent

| What More Would
We Like To Do? |
We're looking
to add projects, such as:
- Broadening outreach to
patrons through the internet
- Bringing successful
industry marketing and computer-based techniques to
increase the effectiveness of library communications
- Increasing book
donations for sales
- Building a closer
working relationship with the Easton community
- Providing a steady
citizen advocacy for the library with local and
state officials
