Friends Group
The Friends of the Jonesville Public Library was reorganized in April 2004. The group shares a common interest in commitment to improving library services. On a small scale the group has sponsored programs and individuals have volunteered to work at the library. The ultimate goal and the main purpose in reorganizing the group is to spearhead a project that will eventually give the library a much needed larger facility. The Friends Group is cooperating with the Town of Jonesville to raise funds and find ways to move the library to a larger building. The friends meet on the second Thursday of every month at the library. Each and every member is a valuable resource to the library no matter how large or small their involvement with the group may be. Membership dues of $1.00 per person are collected annually as a way to maintain an updated list of active members.
Our Mission Statement:
The purpose of this organization shall be to maintain an association of persons interested in public library service to the Jonesville area; to focus public attention on the library; to support and cooperate with the library in developing library services and facilities for the community; to advise the Board of Trustees of the Public Libraries of Yadkin County on the goals and needs of the Jonesville Public Library; to lend legislative support where needed; and to support the freedom to read as expressed in the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights.
