Join the Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Arms Library 

The Friends of the Arms Library is an all-volunteer group of book lovers and wholehearted public library supporters who are committed to fostering a thriving library to benefit our community.  

Our mission is to support cultural and educational activities and services of the Library for which there may be no other funding.  

We raise money from modest membership dues, proceeds from our book sales, and generous donations from the public.

One hundred percent of the funds raised by the Friends goes to support the Library.
