Seed Packet Fundraiser
Image How great is this: Buy your spring seeds from a company that sells organic, heirloom, non-GMO seed and support the Friends of the Northfield Public Library at the same time. As a reader, gardener, and long-time library lover–I can’t think of a better fundraiser.

LIBRARIES CREATE COMMUNITY

The Friends of the Northfield Public Library is a volunteer, nonprofit organization with more than 275 members. Since 1982, the Friends have supported the Northfield Public Library by contributing financial support for supplemental services, by providing materials for children's programs, and by sponsoring activities for volunteers to aid the library and community.

Some of our aims are:

  • To support and assist the library in serving the community;
  • To receive and encourage gifts and bequests to the library;
  • To stimulate the use of the library's resources and services;
  • To increase community awareness of the library.

More than 50 years ago, the Director of the St. Paul Public Library spoke at the founding of the Friends of the St. Paul Library, saying,
"Libraries are the best free thing in town."
Please join us and become part of the network of people who support our community library, "still" the best free thing in our town.
