The Friends provide on going physical and financial support for the Kearny Library while also organize and present a variety of programs for Copper Basin residents of all ages.
Used or donated book and DVD’s are also available for purchase at the library throughout the year. These funds along with membership dues are used for buying new books, videos, audio books, supplies and prizes for the pre-school story hour, the annual National Library Week poster contest and the Summer Reading Program.
This past we the group again sold boxes of used children’s books for five dollars a box to the Pinedale Public Library which is a volunteer run library in the making.
