Who We Are
The Friends of The North Ridgeville Library, Inc. is a non-profit organization of area residents whose purpose is to promote the continued growth, development and use of the library by people of all ages, backgrounds, and diverse interests. Formed in 2000, we now have over 150 dedicated members.
What We Do
Annual membership dues, monetary contributions, monies from our used book sales and silent auction book sale enable the Friends to provide added funds to the library for services, equipment and programs.
We sponsor events for all age groups to encourage a positive association with learning and the library. Some of these include:
Winter Sunday programs
Children's summer reading programs
Adult summer reading programs
We join in community events including the Memorial Day Parade, Corn Festival and Holiday on the Ridge. In 2007, we donated a replica of the North Ridgeville Branch Library, built by our North Ridgeville High School students, to Safetyville.
Our Meetings
The Friends meet four- five times throughout the year. Times and locations can be found on this website, in the Dimesions newlsetter published by the Lorain Public Library System, or by contacting the Library. Meetings are NOT manditory! In addition to entry to the member meetings, membership entitles you to receive communications that will keep you up-to-date on Library and Friends activities. Be as active as you choose - just become a Friend of the North Ridgeville Library!
