Why the Library Needs Friends

  • Public libraries do a lot with limited budgets.
  • Friends fundraising supports growth and development—especially special projects and upgrades.
  • Community support shows decision-makers that the library matters.

What Friends Funds Can Support

Friends funding supports programs, special collections, equipment, furnishings, and capital improvement projects (not routine operations).

What We Do

  • Raise, manage, and spend funds that support the Thorp Public Library’s growth and development.
  • Enhance library programs, services, and capital improvement projects beyond government funding.
  • Promote appreciation and use of the library’s educational and cultural resources.
  • Collaborate with other organizations to benefit the library.

Who We Are

  • Angela Juzwiak, President
  • Andrew Nowak, Vice President
  • Nicole Gintz, Treasurer

  • Rosalie Bryan, Member at Large
