Friends of the Libraries
The Friends, a non-profit, volunteer organization was established in 1971 to provide financial and physical volunteer support to the Annie Halenbake Ross Library and units.
The Friends are committed to the improvement of the libraries to benefit all residents of Clinton County. The Friends have a three-part mission:
- Stimulating public interest in and use of the services and resources available through the Ross Library and its affiliates in Beech Creek and Renovo
- Raising funds to purchase books and materials, provide support services, sponsor programs and speakers, and conduct special projects
- Serving as an advocate for the Ross Library
Each year, members of the Friends provide vital support to the libraries through their generous monetary contributions and gifts and by volunteering their time and talents to re-shelve books, assist with children’s programs, research genealogical requests for patrons, organize adult programs, conduct book groups, and many other tasks as needed.
