Friends Of The Library

The Friends of the Putnam County Public Library are a group of invested individuals who pay a membership fee and dedicate generous volunteer hours to supporting the library. The Friends of the Library are responsible for the library’s book store, regular book sales and promotions, fundraising events such as Touch-A-Truck, and managing fundraising partnerships such as Kroger Community Rewards.

If it says nothing, then you are leaving dollars behind that would help support Library programming. Register your Kroger Plus card now!
