The Friends of the Carthage Public Library is a group of volunteers. Our mission is to support and assist the Carthage Public Library in its policies and programs; to promote the development of excellent library service in the community; to foster closer relations between the library and the citizens of the community; to promote knowledge of the library's functions, resources and needs; and to provide the means for members to exchange ideas, information and experiences.
The Friends group provides volunteers to help with Library projects and programs, conducts fund raisers and supplements the library budget by funding programs or purchasing materials, furnishings, or other items for the Carthage Public Library.
