Friends of the Rose Garden Branch Library


Contact and Membership Information | Book Sales

Friends of the Rose Garden Library is a dedicated group of volunteers who raise funds by sorting and selling donated books through special book sales and our Book Sales Room by the copy machine. Collected funds go towards many different library programs for all age groups, that would not happen due to budget-shortfalls. Friends generosity and contributions keep Rose Garden programs up and running for toddlers all the way up to adults.
