The Friends of Roeliff Jansen Community Library is a nonprofit community driven organization whose primary purpose is to support the Library through fundraising, advocacy, and volunteer work.
Fundraising: we seek money for the Library in order to fund programs, services, infrastructure, and technology that are beyond the Library’s capacity.
Advocacy: we make the case for the increased understanding and support for the role of the Library in today’s society.
Volunteer Work: we expand the ability of the Library to offer programs and services.
The Friends always welcomes new volunteers! Anyone interested should stop by the library for more information. There are sign up sheets at the front desk and at the bookshop.
Friends Bookshop Hours:
Open every Saturday
10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Cash and check only.
