Our programs

The Friends of MPL sponsors periodic book sales, finances the Library's Home Book Program for homebound patrons, and is a local affiliate for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Funds from the book sales are used to support library programs and special projects not covered by their budget. We'll reopen our used book store in the new library building once it is completed in 2022! 

Marion Library Capital Campaign

Friends supports the Marion Library's building project and encourages you to consider a donation!
