Friends of the Library

Why join the Friends?

Since 2005, The Friends of the Crittenden County Public Library organization has been active in supporting the library. What started with thirteen people meeting to talk about how they could help the library soon grew to 90+ members by the fall of 2005. The list of charter members may be seen in the meeting room.
