Blind Date with a Book. February 14, 2025 3:30-7 pm:
The Friends are sponsoring the fourth annual Blind Date with a Book, this year including cartoons, craft projects, stories and fun. What the heck is a blind date book? Earlier in the week, The Friends will wrap a bunch of library books and label them to let patrons know what kind of book it is without giving away the title or author. You discover that when you unwrap the book and check it out at the front desk. How fun is that?

We ended our second complete fiscal year on 6/30/2024!
We came into existence on October 14, 2021 when the State of Michigan approved our Articles of Incorporation and the Internal Revenue Service assigned us an Employer Identifcation Number. On January 26, 2022, the Internal Revenue Service approved The Friends as a public charity exempt under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3), meaning donations made to The Friends are tax-deductible.
