The Davis Library Team

It takes a village! Small towns with thriving libraries like Stoddard need lots of support from the entire community. We couldn’t bring you all the resources and programs we offer without our dedicated trustees, staff, friends, and volunteers!

Friends

The Friends of the Davis Public Library believe libraries are very important to the health of a community. The organization raises awareness of library activities and raises funds to supplement library resources of interest and benefit to the Stoddard community. One may become a Friend of the Library with a donation of $5.00 or whatever one chooses to give to the Friends’ organization. The Friends of the Davis Public Library is a 501(3)(C) entity and therefore donations are tax deductible. Some of the past activities that the Friends have participated in or supported are:
  • Children’s reading program
  • Book sales
  • Tag sale
  • Screened gazebo for reading and WiFi

 

We are interested in involving as much of the community as possible and expanding the access to the Davis Public Library to all age groups.

 

All meetings will continue to be at the Davis Public Library. All who are interested in supporting the Friends activities for the library are welcome.
