About the Friends
The Friends of the Shelby Area District Library is a group of individuals who are passionate about their library and committed to supporting it. We are organized for the development of the library; to bring together people interested in books; to promote interest, usefulness, and resources of the library through programs, exhibits, and other means; and to raise funds to provide for the purchase of materials for the library.
Sign up for library’s monthly newsletter to receive updates from the Friends.
