YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN THE FRIENDS GROUP
As a member of the Friends of the Tecumseh District Library you will have the opportunity to share your enthusiasm for books and the services our library offers. Our combined ideas, talents, and time can help support and promote the continued growth of the library and its services throughout the community.
The Friends of the Tecumseh District Library is a nonprofit organization. Membership funds are used to support the needs of the library, as well as our own programs. These programs appeal to many segments of our community.
Many libraries throughout the United States have Friends groups actively supporting them. Through Friends' efforts to create awareness and appreciation of library services, libraries are stengthened and communities are better served.
Friends' activites can range from fund raising to landscaping to arranging speakers and programs. The past two years have been very exciting as you can tell by the accomplishments and events listed below:
LES GUSTAFSON-ZOOK
DROP IN BRIDGE
Border's Gift Wrapping
(Tecumseh's Best with Seattle's Best)
Christmas Readings
Wine and Cheese Tasting event
Program "Tea with Friends and Books"

In addition to the events listed above Friends:
-
Supported the library renovation with a donation of $10,000, which was applied towards the purchase of new computers
-
Maintain the "Corner Bookshoppe" which offers used books for sale during library hours of operation
-
Hold first Saturday of the month used book sales to raise funds for the library
-
Members donate their time when needed for many of the programs the library offers
