The Friends work hand-in-hand with library personnel to sponsor and host library events throughout the year.  Members also provide funding through their dues and used books sales for materials such as summer reading club prizes, children’s magazine subscriptions, shelving for the used books, and other items that cannot be covered under the library’s limited annual budget.   

Meetings are held monthly on the 3rd Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Blaine Library.  Dues are $10.00 annually and membership applications are available at the library – just ask any staff person for one, fill it out and become a member.

Come join us as we work to make Blaine Public Library the best it can be.
