The Friends of the Clay Center Library

The Friends of the Library is a group of volunteers from our local community who recognize the vital role our library plays as a community resource.

Our objectives are to foster the use of the library and library services, to focus public attention on needed library support, and to stimulate gifts and endowments.

The Friends help to raise awareness of all that the library has to offer to the community.  The Friends also host events to raise money for many library activities and programs.

The Friends financially support the Summer Reading Program, and have sponsored a variety of improvement projects at the Clay Center Carnegie Library including the Library’s bronze statue.

The group is constantly looking for new fundraising and promotional ideas as well as enthusiastic members who would like to serve on the board of directors.  

We meet the second Monday of every month, except June and December, at 6:00 p.m. in the community room located in the basement of the library.
