Our Board of Directors guides us toward fulfilling our mission of stimulating public interest in our Library & supplementing funding to support the UDPL’s cultural, educational, and special needs. The Board also acts as a liaison between the Friends and library administration. 

The Friends Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, November 14 at 6:30 pm in the Library's Shanis Auditorium. Everyone is welcome! Friends membership at large will vote in the 2025 Board. Click to see the nominees. 

This meeting replaces the regular 1:00 pm meeting in November 2024.
