FRIENDS OF THE LUDINGTON LIBRARY 

WHO WE ARE

The Friends of the Ludington Public Library was organized in 1977 by interested citizens who wished to create public interest in the Ludington Public Library, and to promote increased public support for the necessary development of the library so that it may adequately serve the needs of the local population.
As with other public institutions, the library is supported by public funds administered by a library board appointed by city and county commissioners.  The Friends do not try to run the library.  They do help the staff realize some of their ambitions sooner than would be possible if only public funds were available.

WHAT WE DO

The most important work of The Friends is raising funds which are turned over to the library for various uses.  The Friends have provided funds for new books and videos, book shelves, book carts, storage cabinets, paperback racks, and new furniture in the Reading Area.  The Friends offer funds which are used for the library’s many children’s programs, from providing paperback books to give as prizes for the Summer Reading Program, to paying for performers and events such as the summer magic show.

DUES ARE MODEST

The dues for membership in The Friends are $5.00 per person or $10.00 per couple.  Dues for a family or contributing membership are $25.00, and sustaining membership dues are $50.00.  Whether or not you participate actively, we hope you will join and look upon your dues as a contribution to our very excellent library.

FRIENDS SUPPORT LITERACY

The Friends administer the volunteer literacy program for adults who wish to improve their skills.  Volunteer tutors work one-on-one with adults seeking assistance.  Tutors and materials are provided at no charge to the student.

FRIENDS RAISE MONEY

Money is raised through membership dues and contributions.  Our Annual Used Book Sale is our best fundraiser.  This year's sale is July 14 and 15, 2012
