MISSION STATEMENT
The Friends of the Flossmoor Library is an
independent, non-profit, membership-based organization
that supports the work of the Flossmoor Public
Library. We raise money for the library, contribute
programs (that are reflective of the varied interests
and background of patrons) and raise awareness of its
great work. We purchase books and other resources for
the collection at the library's request. We also
contribute to many of the value-added items that make
the library an inclusive, comfortable, fun place.
WE RAISE MONEY PRIMARILY:
- through memberships (individuals and families
joining)
- proceeds from the used book sale
- tote bag purchased (buy one at the Patron Services
Desk for $7)
