FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

The main focus for the Friends of the Library is to advocate to raise awareness of the importance of the library in their community.  The Hammond Community Library doors are open to the public and they offer a wide selection of materials for all to check out and enjoy for free with loan periods that are specific per material.  The library also offers free programs for the public.  Programs for all ages.  See the programs page for more information.

Another goal of the friends group is to focus energy on building a new library.  Raising capital campaign dollars through fund raising and grants to build a new library. The location is all picked and land is secured, the village board granted a piece of land for the new library building near the village park. As the process moves forward we will keep you updated.  At this time the project is on hold, but we are still working towards this goal.

We are in need of more board directors, volunteers, grant writers, and fund raisers to join the Friends of the Hammond Community Library.  Please contact us for ways to get involved and help bring this revitalization project to life.
