An example of activities and events sponsored by the Friends group would include (since the summer of 2003)
- The Summer Reading Program
- Welcome Back Luncheon for all school employees in August
- Hot Dogs on the Lawn at Homecoming time
- Halloween treats at the Library in October
- The drama "The Odd Couple" soup supper in November
- Two one-act plays as a dinner theatre in conjunction with the annual Festival of Trees, in December. (The Library also sponsored one of the trees, and held Open House at the Library, as well as the annual Gingerbread House Contest.)
The highlight for the Spring of 2004 was the Victorian Tea in May, featuring Marilyn Kayton with her portrayal of the First Ladies, as well as music by Susie Schaff.
In 2006 the Friends hosted a fundraiser on a grand scale with a Pancake Supper featuring the Pancake Man from Omaha, a silent auction and a live auction. Over $10,000.00 was raised for this event.
During the En Plein Air Arts Festival, September 30, 2007, the Friends sponsored a salsa competition. Fourteen people brought their own special recipes and the tasting and voting went on for three hours. First place winner was John Downer ($25.00 prize). Second went to Mindee Mahler who recived a salsa cookbook. Third place prize winner was Abbie Poort who received a "Salsa" mug for her efforts.
One on-going attraction is the Felix Summers project, with chairperson Cheryl Jones being responsible for the reproduction of many of the works of the local famed artist. Several choices of prints are available in assorted sizes, as well as note cards. This has been a successful endeavor and will continue as long as there is interest.
