* Effective March 01, 2008, members of our Friends groups will no longer be exempt from overdue fines or fees for materials that are late. Friends will still enjoy the month long check out time that they currently have.

The Friends of the Oak Grove Public Library is a group of volunteers who, through various activities, provide support to the OGPL and the Lamar County Library System.

The Friends of the Oak Grove Public Library meet periodically to discuss ways to help their library branch. Members of the Friends of the Library organization make the public more aware of the services and resources offered by the library. The Friends of the Oak Grove Public Library also help promote special programs hosted by the library.

Benefits:

· Have an impact on the kinds of services and resources your local library provides
· Have an impact in the community
· Enjoy a one-month check-out period

Responsibilities:

Some members may want to be more involved than others. You may want to pay annual dues and attend meetings, but not assist with a particular event or ongoing projects.

You may choose to become very involved: serve as a project director, secretary, or treasurer; attend local government meetings to urge city and county officials to invest in the library; lobby for and help raise funds to support, enhance, and expand library services. Each member decides how he or she will participate.

Ongoing Book Sale:

The Friends of the Oak Grove Public Library have established ongoing book sale shelves in the library. The shelves are located in the hallway near the water fountains. New materials are updated as donations become available. Proceeds from the sale directly benefit the library.

Engraved Decorative Brick:

This original fundraising project allowed for the creation of “Flag Plaza”—a walk-way of decorative bricks surrounding the Oak Grove Public Library flag pole. By continuing this project, it provides additional financial assistance in the purchase of materials not provided for in the building grants.
