Friends of APL
2009 - IT'S MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TIME!
The Friends of the Alpine Public Library is a nonprofit group of citizens who believe that any community is a better place in which to live if that community has a first-rate library.
We act in cooperation with the Alpine Public Library’s director and Board of Directors and serve as liaison between the community and the library. We create public support for and awareness of the Alpine Public Library by supporting children’s programs, video series, workshops, staff training, equipment purchases, building repairs and renovations, landscaping, and special purchases.
We meet at noon on the Tuesday before the second Thursday of each month in the Southwest Room of the library.
