The Friends Bookstore is being re-organized and improved! For this reason, we will not be accepting book donations beginning February 1 through September 1. We are very sorry if this causes any inconvenience. If you are ready to donate during this time, we recommend you visit the Salvation Army at 70945 Van Dyke in Bruce Township (just across from Sheena’s).
We are open during our renovation – please come in and browse!

The Friends and 9 terrific gardeners are busy getting ready for this year’s Romeo Area Garden Walk. We need lots of volunteers to help guide visitors through the gardens and to check tickets. And if you are a Master Gardener, we invite you to share your expertise on plants and gardening with visitors at each of the gardens. Please contact the Friends at friendsofrdl@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping out!
Tickets are available now – visit our Garden Walk page for details!
The Friends recently donated five boxes of books to the Oscoda County Library in Mio, Michigan. We were happy to share our bountiful supply of popular fiction, mysteries and romance novels with the citizens of Oscoda County!
The Friends donated five boxes of children’s and young adult books to the Children’s Village in Waterford. When we dropped off the books we were pleased to find out they had a wish list for their kids. If you have read any of these books and are ready to pass them along, please drop them off to the Friends at Kezar Library with a note to the attention of Donna. Books make a big difference in kids’ lives – thanks!
