The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library was established in 1974 and will be celebrating its 35th anniversary this fall, on Saturday, October 24th.
The organization is committed to enhancing the programs, services and facilities of the Morgan Hill Library. We raise money through the Friends bookstore (located off the lobby of the library), online sales, and twice-a-year big book sales, as well as membership dues and donations. These funds are used to provide programs and activities and purchase materials and furnishings that are outside the scope of the library budget.
The Friends support family reading programs, the best-seller book collection, summer reading clubs (for children, teens and adults), story time entertainment, bi-lingual staff, Silicon Valley Reads events, speakers forums and other special presentations.
The Friends raised more than $180,000 through its 2006-2007 Beyond Books Campaign for art and furnishings for the new library. The organization contributed an additional $50,000 to this fund.
The Friends of the Library is operated entirely by volunteers. New members are always needed.
