The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library is a group of volunteers
who are committed to enhancing programs, services and facilities
at the library. They raise money through memberships, donations
and Book Sales. These funds
are used to provide programs and activities and to purchase
materials and furnishings for which there are no provisions
in the library budget.
The Friends support the Library's Summer Reading Program,
Best Seller Collection and Story Time Entertainment, Silicon
Valley Reads, and the Speakers
Forum.
The Friends coordinated the Beyond Books Campaign in 2006-2007
to raise money for furnishings and public art for the new
library. More than $180,000 was raised. Our thanks
to the generosity of the donors.
