Mission Statement and Goals of the Friends of the Library 

Each year, the Friends of the Library Board reviews our Mission Statement and Goals, which represents the direction our Board intends to pursue in the year ahead. We invite you to join us in our efforts to support our "community center for life-long learning!" Without the support of our membership, we wouldn't achieve these goals. Please review how we intend to connect the Library to our community and should you see something that interests you, read more about it on our Volunteer with Us page and let us know by contacting us at: CPHFriends@nycap.rr.com.
