Who are the Friends of the Medina Library?

The Friends of the Medina Library are people who are interested in helping to promote the use and enjoyment of the library. The group aims to address the growing needs of the library and lends support by funding programs and purchasing items that the library could not otherwise provide. The Friends hold used book sales and help fund special events, such as Summer Reading Celebration and Writers Live book and author luncheons. For more information about the Friends, please call Medina Library Manager Christine Gramm at 330-722-6235 x2001.
