Friends
Of the Orion Township Public Library
|
|
The Friends of the Orion Township Public Library are an
important group of people who are advocates of the library. Friends enhance
and support the library's services to the community. When you join the
Friends of the Orion Library, you say YES to your library.
April is membership renewal time. Annual membership runs from May 1st through
April of the following year regardless of when the dues are paid. Please click here
or on the "Friends Membership"
link below to join/renew if you have not already done so.
Alternatively, you can use our paper
renewal forms available at the library in the Friends' display behind the "New
Books" section in the library checkout area, or, better yet, checkout
our "Gently Used" books for sale in the
Friends' Book Sale area on the left as you enter the adult section of
the library. Here you can find Friends' information and purchase gently
used books and DVDs from $1 - $3. "On your honor" payment can be made by
depositing money in the Friends' lockbox or at the library checkout counter.
Thank you!
