The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization that raises funds and promotes the library. Here are just a few ways the library has used these funds:

• Supplement PCPLS Collections
• Support PCPLS Events and Reading Programs
• Tuition Reimbursement for staff education

Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month at 9:30 a.m. in the 2nd floor Boardroom at the Valparaiso Branch.

Grab your copy in our Resale Shop before it marches off the shelves!

We will be closed this Saturday, April 4, for the holiday weekend. Have a happy Easter!
