History of the Genoa City Friends
On January 7, 1987 the Friends of the Genoa City Public Library were accepted into the National Organization , Friends of Libraries USA by the American Library Association. The Friends of the Library Association was formed in 1979. Afterward a small article appeared in the local newspaper. It read: “At 7:30 p.m. Monday January 19, an organizational meeting of the “Friends” will be held at the Genoa City Public Library. Friends is an organization of anyone who has spare time to help the librarian, read stories, promote the library, help with book sales, assist with library programs, book reviews, demonstrate collections, crafts, etc., and help with fundraising.”
