The Friends of the Lake City Library was organized in May 2004 and has grown to more than 80 members. Membership falls into several catagories, single, family, seniors, and other levels of benefactors. (See membership form.)The group meets bi-monthly at the library. Newcomers are most welcome!

The 'Friends' group is involved with several library projects. In past years, the Friends had a booth at the Coal Creek Miner's Festival. Handmade crafts were sold, including a commerative of the Miner's Memorial at the Leach Cemetery where many of the miners killed in the Fraterville Mine disaster (1902) are buried. Marshall McGhee, a local author, sold one of his books, "Coal Mining Towns" from the booth donating a portion of the sales to the Friends. We gave away (or sometimes for just a little money) children's books. We distributed flyers for the Children's Summer Reading Program. We talked to parents of young children to be sure the children were registered for the Birth to 5 books project sponsored by Dollywood's Imagination Station, the State of Tennesse and locally (Anderson County) by Oak Ridge Associated Universities. We also had posters announcing coming projects in the genealogy section of the library. Children who stopped by the booth had fun creating a Curious George toy from construction paper.

The Friends have purchased furniture for the patio, a computer table to be used during tax season, paid binding cost for several volumes in the genealogy section, purchased the new magazine rack and the bulletin board for the children's section, funded the purchase of new library cards that have the library picture on the key chain card, paid for events for the Children's Reading program, supplied breakfast for the Chamber of Commerce meeting at the library, held the annual books sale, hosted the annual chili supper, AND the largest effort, funded the Ancestry.com/HeritageQuest.com until other entities began to provide the services. This year's plans have included hosting Chamber of Commerce meeting at the library, hosting an Open House on Lake City Library Day, holding a book sale, sponsoring Children's Summer Reading Program sessions, additional landscaping, fall book sale, and 'Lunch for a Bunch'. If you have not yet, please renew your Friends of the Library membership. Now is the time to consider moving up to a Benefactor friend. If you are not a member of the Friends of the Lake City Library, you are cordially invited to join more than 80 members to support the library through activities during the year that keeps the community informed of events and programs at the library. We are so fortunate to have a 'full-service' library in a community of our size.
