Library Friends
Mission:
The Friends of the Crown Point Library’s mission is to enhance and promote the use and enjoyment of the library. They raise funds to support library programs and services, as well as to help fund items not generally covered in the library’s regular operating budget.
Support Your Library—Join the Friends!
Your library means more than books—it’s a place for connection, learning, and inspiration. One of the best ways to support everything the Crown Point Community Library offers is by joining the Friends of the Crown Point Library. The Friends are a dedicated group of volunteers who advocate for and raise funds to enhance library programs, services, and events. From sponsoring summer reading prizes to funding special projects, the Friends help make the library a vibrant part of our community. Membership is open to all individuals and families who want involvement in the library. Members are encouraged to attend meetings and to actively participate in book sales, other events, and projects. The membership year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. All dues are paid annually.
As we look ahead to 2026, the Friends will be adjusting their membership rates for the first time in several years. Beginning January 1, 2026, the new rates will be:
- Single Membership: $15
- Family Membership (two people): $25
- Lifetime Membership: $150 (unchanged)
Joining the Friends is a simple and meaningful way to make a lasting difference. Membership dollars directly support programs that enrich the lives of children, teens, and adults in our community—all while keeping the library strong for generations to come.
Membership forms are available at both library locations, or download a printable form.
