The Friends of the Huntsville Public Library was founded in 2006 for the purpose of promoting the library and assisting the library staff. The Friends organize special events centered around the holidays or the changing seasons. They have hosted Halloween costume contests, a Christmas tea, summer nature activities, puppet shows, and patriotic-themed programs, as well as, participating in Kids Night at the Western Roundup Days. They often provide refreshments for library events and organize children crafts activities. Their recent Book Sale successfully raised enough money to buy a bicycle rack for the front of the library. Ongoing fundraisers will assist in purchasing furnishings for the Children’s Room, and will assist with other library needs determined by the Friends and the Library Director.

The Friends meet on the 1st Thursday at 5:00 pm in the Library. New members are always welcome! For more information, call the library.
