Friends of the Red Jacket Community Library

The Friends of RJCL raise funds for library programs and equipment, and provide volunteer support for programs and events.

We have been actively supporting our community library since its founding in 1998.

The Friends of the Red Jacket Community Library is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization. We operate under our approved Bylaws.

Meetings are usually the third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the library. Check the events calendar for up-to-date information each month. All members of the community are welcome to the join us. Become a member at a meeting, or send in your membership form. Membership gives you:

A voice in the decision-making process regarding Friends’ projects and spending.

The opportunity to work with a great group of Friends while giving back to the community.

Current fundraising goal

Updated furniture

We are currently working with the school library staff, community library staff, and a library designer to replace some of the library’s heavy tables and chairs with lightweight, stackable chairs and collapsible tables.

This will give us more flexibility to meet patron needs by letting us easily reconfigure the rooms for different purposes.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to furnish the rooms that are in most need of updating:

The “Fish Bowl” – the glass-enclosed classroom located in the children’s section
The Langton Conference Room – aka the board room, located near the Elementary School entrance

Any donation is welcome and appreciated!
