A crew of dedicated Friends of the Library volunteers work every week sorting and organizing the flow of donations that come in daily. About 160 hours of volunteer time is put in every month. Over the past months much of the Last Chance Room has “turned over” and most of the Show Room has also been refreshed.
The mission of the Friends is to promote and support public resources and community programs at the Ripon Public Library and proceeds from the sale are used to support this mission. In the past year the Friends have assisted with funding the digital hoopla service, summer reading programs for all ages, take and make kits, support of the renovation project, providing a copier for public use, and more. The Friends also maintain a Book Stop Shop in the main lobby of the library throughout the year.
