Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Rita & Truett Smith Public Library is a non-policy making non-profit organization that operates exclusively for the civic purpose to support the library. We accomplish this through advocacy and fundraising in order to help the library with its mission to provide educational, informational, and recreational resources to all patrons of the library.
