Member List
The Minnesota Association of Library Friends is only as strong as our member network! Fortunately for Minnesota's libraries, communities large and small boast active Friends of the Library groups. You can use the below roster to locate and contact Friends in YOUR area.
Want to be included?
If you'd like your Friends of the Library included in the statewide database, join or renew your membership. [If you believe your organization is up-to-date in its dues, and so is missing in error, email info@mnlibraryfriends.org to have it addressed.]
Want something changed?
If your group's contact person of record has changed, or you wish to have your Friends group removed from the list, send an email to info@mnlibraryfriends.org.
