Friends of the Library


2025 Annual Holiday Wreath Sale Information is coming soon!


The Friends of Bancroft Public Library is a volunteer-based organization that provides support to this library. Friends groups work to enhance library services, raise funds, advocate for the library, and promote community engagement. They are distinct from the library’s formal administration but work closely with library staff and the library board. The Friends of Bancroft Library sponsors many of the programs that happen at the library, they help pay for new computers and technology needs, they often provide food for events (like the Senior Potluck), and assist with funding for materials for programs, the makerspace, and more!

Bancroft Library’s Friends group is amazing, and we are fortunate to have them support Bancroft Public Library.

When Are Meetings for the Friends?

The Friends meet twice a year (April and October). Members are persons who have an interest in and who wish to support the Library’s welfare. Meeting notices are posted on the Library website and social media.

Upcoming Semi-Annual Meeting: Thursday, October 30, 2025
