Why Join the Friends of Armidale Library
- To support the library. Our memberships subscriptions of $15 per year are a crucial part of raising funds fo ongoing and new initiatives. All our funds come from membership fees, donations, and fund raising activities.
- To have a voice. When we are lobbying Council or State Government representatives, it is very important that we have as many community members behind us as possible.
- To help guide the direction of our group. All members are welcome to attend committee meetings and share their views.
- To receive a monthly newsletter with news of our activities, library information, book reviews and information about library resources.
Our members' subscriptions help us to provide:
- • core library resources/services such as books, CDs, DVDs, large print books, talking books, on line and other resources
- • the baby book pack program for every baby born in Armidale.
- • a monthly newsletter to members
- • various events to raise the profile of books and the Library in the community e.g the 6 words competition, children’s programs, the Sydney Writers Festival and Sydney Symphony live streaming, author talks and the Annual Remembrance Day talk.
- • improvements to the Library’s appearance and ambience.
