Established in 1990, The Friends of the Library is a non-profit organization that works to support and strengthen our public library. Its purpose, in cooperation with the Library Board of Trustees and staff, is:
  • To support and cooperate with the library in developing services and the facility
  • To stimulate volunteer services for the library
  • To sponsor cultural programs, guest speakers, and activities at the library
  • To encourage donations, gifts, and bequests to the library

The Friends of the Library Book Warehouse will open to the public for the season mid-spring, located at 13081 Coffing Rd, Mount Vernon.
 
Regular hours will then be Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 10 am to 6 pm, thru mid-November. The book warehouse is closed Fourth of July weekend and Labor Day weekend.
 
Shelves have been cleaned and restocked with thousands of new and used books, DVDs, CDs, cassettes, records, magazines, VHS tapes, puzzles, games and more for all ages. All children under age 18 will receive a free book ticket during each visit.
 
The popular $5 donation per bag "Stuff It!" sale will continue for the summer. New or clean recycled grocery bags will be provided. 
 
Proper sanitizing and CDC health guidelines will be followed. Donated materials can be dropped off during regular hours. 
 
To volunteer or to sign up for community service credit, stop in. Volunteers of all ages and abilities can set their own hours and help in a variety of ways.
 
FOL donations help support public library special events and programs in Mount Vernon, Fredericktown, Danville and Gambier.
