Friends of the Library
The Friends help make the Library a Friendly Destination in Zionsville.
When celebrating the Library as a fun and learning destination in Zionsville, we hope you will turn your thoughts to the Library Friends. This group has been a key player in the Library's winning formula.
Fundraising for the Library
Since the mid-seventies the Library Friends have been earning money selling pre-owned books and donating the proceeds to the Library. The Library Friends solicit, collect, organize, and price thousands of books for public sales three times a year. The net proceeds are set aside to benefit the Library.
Significant contributions to the present building
After several years of saving book sale proceeds, the Friends in 1993 donated $7000 to purchase the chandelier that hangs in the main lobby. The beautiful light fixtures in the main lobby and on the second floor were made possible by the generosity of the Friends. In addition, a display cabinet was purchased that shows off the Lora Hussey doll collection.
Shop with the Friends & Amazon.com
By searching or clicking on the link to the right, all of your Amazon.com purchases will benefit the Friends of the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library. Amazon.com will donate up to 15% of your total purchases to the Friends. Thank you for shopping with the Friends to help your Library!
More than 25 years of gifts
- Since 1978, the Library Friends have donated about $120,000 to purchase basics and extras that have served to collectively make this Library a special destination for all ages.
- Equipment such as photocopiers, dehumidifier, calculator, electric typewriter, telephone, refrigerator, faxes, tape players, and a scanner were items that contributed to Library staff productivity.
- Basic furniture needs such as tables, chairs, shelving, card catalog cabinets, display units, and area rugs were also supplied.
- Books, magazine subscriptions, and other collection materials have been added annually. The flowers at the Library entrances have been purchased and planted by the Friends.
- Many of the Christmas decorations that adorn the Library were gifts from our generous Friends. The group pays for Library program speakers and concerts, supplies and refreshments.
- Many greater Zionsville area residents, past and present, have benefited from the diligence and funds donated by this caring group.
