Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library

Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library The Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library registered in 1999 as a non-profit organization with charity status. Who we are?

Our mission is simple: to make a difference in the cultural and social life of Cranbrook as it relates to the Cranbrook Public Library. We are active in promoting increased library services, better facilities and more programming directed toward the needs of Cranbrook’s residents. All of our goals are designed to promote library services and the library’s involvement with the community of Cranbroo

To focus attention on the library
To encourage the use of the library’s resources and services
To receive and promote gifts, endowments and bequests in aid of our goals
To organize community response and legislative support where needed
To support the freedom to read and lifelong learning accessible to all without economic barrier

The Friends of the Library are a community group that practices gentle social activism. We believe in the primacy of a public library in a healthy and progressive community. We have an unbounded faith in the future and to that end we cooperate in fund-raising and programme initiation designed to strengthen the Cranbrook Public Library. Our members are involved in volunteer work on any number of Friends of the Library projects – the annual book sale, magazine sale, Adopt-A-Magazine and other revenue generating projects. Above all, the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library are committed to good fellowship, fun and service. The results of our efforts fund extra book and other collection purchases, targeted programmes and special projects designed to make Cranbrook and the library better, more dynamic partners. Take a look at what we do and join us. Build for the future with the Friends of the Library.
