Do you love Mars Library as much as we do?  Consider becoming a Friend! 

The Friends of Mars Area Public Library is a volunteer non-profit organization that was organized in 1981 to support the needs of Mars Library.  Our dedicated Friends provide essential assistance to the library by coordinating and participating in book sales, raffles, and other fundraisers; purchasing materials and equipment not provided by the library budget; and assisting us with special events and programs.  This year, a portion of the funds raised by the Friends will be used to acquire furniture and other items needed for our upcoming building expansion.

The Friends meet four times per year at the library, and meeting announcements will be posted on our web site.  If you would like to join our Friends organization, please complete and mail a membership form with an enclosed check to:

Mars Area Public Library values the dedication and efforts of its Friends.  We hope you will consider becoming a Friend of the Library!

A TASTE OF MARS

In 2006, our Friends created a beautiful cookbook called A Taste of Mars, which is now available for purchase at the library for $9.00.  These cookbooks make great gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or Mother’s Day, and the proceeds benefit Mars Library!  Cookbooks are on sale at the Library or at Foodland on Grand Avenue in Mars.  To purchase a copy by mail, please send a check made payable to Friends of Mars Area Public Library in the amount of $11.50, which includes $2.50 for shipping.  Checks can be mailed to Friends of Mars Area Public Library, P.O. Box 415, Mars, PA 16046.
