Crown Point Community Library

Library Friends

National Friends of the Library Week, October 19-25, recognizes the incredible contributions of Friends groups across the country—dedicated volunteers who support, advocate, and enhance their local libraries.

Each year, National Friends of the Library Week shines a spotlight on the dedicated volunteers who champion libraries across the nation. The Friends of the Crown Point Library are an essential part of our community, providing valuable support through fundraising, advocacy, and programming that enhances the library experience for everyone.

Now is the perfect time to become a Friend! Membership fees will increase in 2026, but if you sign up during October, you’ll lock in 2025 rates and be entered to win a Lifetime Membership. One winner will be randomly selected from October sign-ups and announced on November 3.

You can join or renew your membership at either library location or at the Fall Book Sale.

Sign up at the library during the book sale, or print the form and return it to the library by October 31, 2025. Your membership supports library programs, events, and initiatives that make a lasting impact. Together, we can continue to strengthen and celebrate our community’s most valuable resource—our library!
