About the Friends
For more than 25 years, the Friends of the Oak Creek Public Library has existed as an independent organization of people and businesses interested in assisting the library in developing programs, encouraging gifts, promoting knowledge and providing a channel for individuals and organizations to express ideas and make suggestions for library uses and services.
Our meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of every month (except for July) at 6:00 p.m., typically in the Civic Center.
We hope to see you, soon!
