HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE FRIENDS
Book Donations
The Friends of the Library will accept donations of books, DVDs, audiobooks on CD, music CDs, games and puzzles at Rawson Memorial library during normal business hours. No appointment is needed, but please call ahead if it will be a large donation. Our book sales rely on these donations and are appreciated.
Volunteer
Support fundraising efforts and connect with other Friends and the community by volunteering.
The primary source of the funding comes from book sales (annual used book sale and Scholastic). Volunteers are needed to sort and prepare donations, set up, and staff.
