The Friends of the Library's purpose is to support and promote the Stillwater Public Library. Funds raised through the Spring and Fall Used Book Sales facilitate the purchase of books, materials, equipment, programs and decorations. Friends of the Library is the primary support for the Children's Summer Reading Program and other special activities for children and adults alike.
