Who are the Friends? 

We are book lovers, information seekers, readers, listeners, music and movie buffs. We are young and old, with varying interests and backgrounds.  We treasure ideas and value the public library as a vital community resource.  We all believe the East Troy Lions Public Library stands to serve the whole community.  The Friends are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed to enhance and improve library services to its community.
