Friends of the Cuba Library, Inc.

The Friends of the Cuba Library, Inc. will vote to adopt the proposed amendment to the bylaws at the September 3, 2025 meeting. See below for a draft of the amended bylaws.

Friends of the Cuba Library, Inc. (Friends) incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit in October of 2016. As a non-profit, Friends is committed to promoting the mission of the Cuba Circulating Library (Library), to raising money to provide financial support for Library programs and services, to advocating for the library, and to recognizing service contributions of library staff and volunteers.

Friends actively support children’s programming, including regularly scheduled story hours and classes, special events and guests, a book club at the middle-high school, and summer reading programs. Adult programming benefits from Friends’ funding with sponsorship of special programs, such as the Spring Tea, and guest presenters, such as local artists and authors.

Friends offer funding for Library special needs not normally covered in the library’s operating budget.  For example, in 2020, Friends provided funding for Library reopening needs under COVID-19 protocols. Friends also contribute to improvements to the building and amenities, such as funding the purchase of new appliances and a faucet in the kitchen, and contributing to the purchase of the new fish tank and the ADA accessible tree play structure in the youth area.

BE the change you want to see in the world. ~Ghandi
