Friends of the Bailey Library meetings are held the third Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the library. The Friends group creates public support and sponsors programs designed to add to the life of our library and our community. It also contributes direct financial assistance to purchase items that the library budget cannot provide.
Membership fee per person is $5.00 annually. Anyone can become a member and is encouraged to participate in the meetings and/or sit on the board. New Friends members are welcome. Please contact the library for more information.
