Friends of St. Charles Library
Join the Friends of St. Charles Library and raise funds to support special programs and to purchase equipment that is outside the Library's regular budget.

Junior Friends are middle school students in grades 6 – 8 who volunteer their time in the Youth Services Department. Opportunities in this very popular program fill up fast. Interested students are encouraged to put their names on the waiting list.
For more information, contact the Youth Services ASK ME Desk.
