<\/a>The Friends of the Romeo District Library is a non-profit organization that stimulates community appreciation of the library’s resources and services; encourages gifts and bequests in support of the library and sponsors special programs in cooperation with the library staff. The Friends have been in operation since 1987.<\/h2>\nThe support of the Friends helps the library to offer services above and beyond those funded by tax support. Recent projects have included the support for summer reading programs, Battle of the Books and a large demonstration mirror for cooking programs. We award local scholarships each year and provide books for assisted living facilities, seniors and veterans. We have raised funds to help support the Romeo Community Archives and have provided funding toward the Bookmobile for the library, Imagination Library and the Romeo Reads Program. The Friends is an all-volunteer organization. Community members and Library patrons who volunteer and donate can see their support going directly to the library.<\/p>\n
