Background
The Friends of the Argyle Public Library formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in April 2022. The organization was founded to provide support as the library board pursued efforts to find a new, fully accessible space to better serve the needs of all patrons. In the summer of 2021, the Library Board had formed a Building Committee with the mission to move the library into a fully accessible space. The Friends organization was established to assist in seeking a new space and to provide ongoing support for library projects and programs.
