Friends of the Library

Organized in 1977, our organization is a 501(c)3 tax exempt group that supports the Ashland Public Library with voluntary service and monetary contributions. We are able to raise funds through membership fees and book sales. Since our inception we have raised over two hundred thousand dollars for the library to support programs and purchase items that may exceed the library’s regular budget. Our gifts have been used to sponsor events like the annual summer reading program and National Library Week and also for special purchases.

Current Officers
President: Peggy Ulrich
Vice President/Book Sale Coordinator: Position Open
Treasurer: Jean Irwin
Membership: Barbara Lindsay
Secretary: Sue Heimann
