The Friends of the Gaston Branch Library were formed in 1990 as a support group for the library. We have been very active since.

The Friends are currently selling tickets for a donation of $2.00 for the following:
A Kodiak EasyShare Digital Camera & Printer (donated by Sears)
A gift box of Maurice's Gourment BBQ Sauces (donated by Piggy Park)

Drawing to be held December 1, 2007

Through bake sales, book sales, and various fundraisers, we are able to provide the library with the different materials they need. They...

Are kept informed of the library's plans, progress, and problems

Recognize that they do not perform policy-making role for the library but know that their opinions are valued by the trustees

Serve as "connecting links" between the library and the community, interpreting one to the other

Supply necessary volunteers to administer their organization and carry out their projects

Decide how to allocate their money after conferring with the library administration and the library board

Use their influence, individually and collectively, to help the library obtain desired financial support, representing the library point of view to legislators and the media
