Friends of the Library

October 2023

The Pleasant Hill Public Library receives great support through taxpayer dollars. However, those dollars alone aren’t enough to fund all of the library’s services and activities. The Friends of the Pleasant Hill Library step in to help provide resources and materials that otherwise would not be available for patron use. The Friends play a huge role in helping the library thrive.

In recent years, the Friends have purchased furniture, computers, books on CD, and DVDs. Recently, the Friends made a generous donation to construct the Story Walk at Copper Creek Lake Park. Without this contribution, the Story Walk may not have become a reality.

We stay active in promoting the library in the community. We operate a book sale of surplus items to generate funds and provide other useful services as needed.

Our Friends group is always eager to welcome new members! Meetings are held on a quarterly basis at the library. Our current meeting schedule is at 4:15pm on the second Wednesday in the months of September, December, March, and June. Please call the library (515-266-7815) to confirm meeting times, if interested in attending a meeting.

The Friends is a 501-C3 nonprofit organization, is eligible for employer matching funds, and is tax deductible. Memberships are renewed on a yearly basis. Please fill out the form below and mail it with your check or drop it off at the library at 5151 Maple Drive. We understand that meeting attendance may not always be feasible. Whether you wish to become a member or just want to donate to the Friends of the Library, we greatly appreciate your help!
