Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Library has just been organized in 2007.
Meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month at noon in the Larchwood Library
Friends of the Library do the following:
 | Increase community awareness of library services |
| Act as community advocates for the library |
| Sponsors fundraising activities |
| Provide the library with operational support |
Some suggestions for volunteer workers are to:
| Adopt a Shelf or Adopt a Section (to clean and dust) |
| Clean the library or Children's Room after April 10 |
| Help with carpet cleaning |
| Help with the Summer Reading Program |
| Help setting up the annual Book Sale |
| Help process Reading Counts books |
| Help with computer search to determine Reading Counts books already owned by the library |
The Friends of the Library has already paid for a new water heater and installation in the library

Friends of Library Raised Money for Water Heater |
|
|
| James Smith of DRG Mechanical, Inc. disposed of the decrepit water heater that hadn’t worked for several years. |
|
There are friends and then there are Friends! People in this area think so much of the Larchwood Library, that even before the postponed walking taco fundraiser was actually held, enough money had been donated to the Friends of the Library, that the new water heater has already been purchased. There are still needs to be addressed at the library, though. Next to be replaced will be the library’s sinks and toilets. The non-functioning, but still hooked-up heater, is the culprit in ruining the sinks.
