What it reported doing in 2024

Friends of murray city library held several events in which it was successful in helping children and young adults foster their desire to read. The service partnership between the friends and the murray library focused on two target groups: 1. Children up to age 12, particularly during the summer reading program in june and july. 2. Teens from grades 7th through 12th during the summer and throughout the school year. Funds from the friends are used to sponsor performers such as professional story tellers and magicians, as well as programs from educational outreach services of the hoogle zoo, tracey aviary, hawkwatch, and clark planetarium. Funds were also used to purchase books and small, age-appropriate merchandise to serve as reading incentives. Books were also purchased for the teen book discussion club. Funds were also used for supplies and craft materials which support these public programs for kids and teens.

Operating model
