Friends of the Crown Point Library Seeking New Board Members

Are you passionate about supporting your local library? The Friends of the Crown Point Library (FOCPL) are looking for new Board members! We have several openings and welcome members to apply.

If you have enthusiasm, a few hours to spare, and a desire to make a difference, we need you! In addition to filling Officer positions, we’re also seeking members with fresh ideas to help support the Library through fundraising, programs, and outreach services.

FOCPL is a group of dedicated volunteers who work together to enhance the services and programs of the Crown Point Library. Our mission is to promote the enjoyment of the Library and raise funds for initiatives that go beyond the regular operating budget. Established in 1983, FOCPL is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

Interested in learning more? Join us for a special evening meeting on Tuesday, November 12, at 6 p.m. to discover how you can get involved and help support your Library through the Friends! The meeting will occur in the Internet Café at Crown Point.
