The Friends volunteer their time to do fundraising to support the branch. This traditionally includes annual Spring and Fall book and bake sales. The group operates a used bookstore inside the library building located at 210 E. Corunna Ave. The bookstore is open during library hours. Hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10-5, Tuesday & Thursday 10-8, and Saturday 10-2.

Current officers of the organization are Mary Ziegler, president; Joyce Haak, secretary; and Roxie Miros, treasurer. The group also includes a small band of dedicated volunteers. New members are always welcome. Please contact the library at 989-743-4800 or visit the branch to learn more about membership. The group meets monthly at the library on the 3rd Tuesday at 9am. Follow the Friends of the Corunna Library on Facebook.

“Our patrons have an enriched library experience because of the Friends,” said branch manager Cathy Cramner. “The funds they raise definitely put the icing on the cake. I think most patrons would be surprised to learn how much of the library environment they enjoy, is supported by the Friends.”

National Friends of Libraries Week is coordinated by United for Libraries, a division of the American Library Association. United for Libraries supports those who govern, promote, advocate, and fundraise for libraries, and brings together library trustees, advocates, friends, and foundations into a partnership that creates a powerful force for libraries in the 21st century.
