Morris Area Public Library

The Morris Area Public Library District's Friends of the Library group formed in 1998. From 10 charter members, the group now has around 50 members and is very involved in library activities.

Joining the Friends of the Library is free, but volunteers are required to sign up for and actively participate in at least one of the group's committees. The committees are:

Book Sale- Stocks shelves and straightens categories in the Joyce E. Steele Book Sale Room.
Book Straightening- Meets three times a year to tidy materials in the adult section.
Children's Department- Assists with various children's activities and programs throughout the year.
Gardening- Maintains the appearance of the library's garden and other landscaping.
Handyman- Does minor repairs and projects around the library.
Hospitality- Provides refreshments at library events.
Local History- Indexes local newspaper articles and assists with other local history projects.
Trip Advisory- Suggests destinations and themes for library-sponsored bus trips.

Anyone interested in joining the Friends of the Library can pick up an application form at the library or may Ask A Librarian to send a form to you.
