Friends of the Ascension Public Library

Friends of the Ascension Public Library is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that was established in 2019 to support the library. The Friends raise additional funds to support library programs and services and raise awareness of the library's value to the community.
 
Joining the Friends is a great way to show your support for the library. Members and volunteers actively promote library services and resources while sharing their love of books with the community. The Friends also secure volunteers and raise funds to support the library. Contributions are used to buy items for activities and programs and to enhance the summer reading programs for all ages.

The Friends hold quarterly meetings to discuss ongoing and upcoming project ideas, volunteer at community events, and host used book sales and fundraising events.

Raising Funds

Support from the Friends has been instrumental in enhancing Summer Reading Program prizes.

The Friends used book sales bring in the majority of their funding. They are held a few times per year. These books are priced by the inch by stacking up paperbacks and hardbacks separately. Paperbacks are $1 per inch, and hardbacks are $2 per inch. The Friends accept Venmo, PayPal, cash, and checks.
