Our Mission

Friends of the Cornelius Library members and volunteers are dedicated to supporting the Cornelius Public Library through volunteer activities, donations, and fundraising to help the library be a successful part of the community.

How We’re Funded

The Friends are funded by annual dues paid by members and by proceeds from used book and t-shirt sales. Other funding comes from project grants and partner programs like Fred Meyer Rewards and BottleDrop (see our Donate page to learn more).
