Dear Madeline Island Community Members,
We are delighted to introduce you to the Madeline Island Public Library’s FriendsCircle.
FriendsCircle is a Library committee formed organically out of the Island’s tradition of mutual
giving. Its primary focus is fund-raising, friend-raising, and creating a strong volunteer group to
support and advocate for Library programs.The FriendsCircle is a group of individuals who share the common interest of promoting and supporting the Library. YOU are one of these individuals. The FriendsCircle is OUR collective
name.
The FriendsCircle is not an organization, and it has no members. The FriendsCircle is project-driven, and those projects are community- and library-initiated. The FriendsCircle structure will enable you to tailor your participation and contributions around your passions and availability.
Our priority projects for 2024:
-Memorial Day 2024 Sound Garden,
-Curated book collections featuring our unique location & history,
-Activated outdoor Maker’s Space,
-Enhanced technology collaboration with Owl camera and bar,
-Improved communications with Little Green Light.
If you are curious or intrigued or just ready to jump in, email us or fill out the form at the library to let us know where your interests lie and how you want to help.
Your support of any kind propels us all forward.
You may donate online or snail mail to FriendsCircle, PO Box 65, 1 Library Street, La Pointe, WI 54850.
Thank you,
Founding Committee - Mimi Smith, Helen Roland, Jane Vogt and Kerrey Andreas (Library Board liaison)
There is also a Survey to help us kick things off!
