MISSION: The Library Friends of Payson, Inc., is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide financial and community support to the Payson Public Library. We believe that public libraries comprise an integral aspect of community identity and development, and we support endeavors that encourage literacy and free inquiry within the individual, the family, and society.
HISTORY:
Like
many of Rim Country's finest service organizations, "The Library
Friends" were established as a 'grassroots' effort to support the
growing Payson Public Library.
SERVICES WE PROVIDE: We offer a Free Library Services for Homebound Individuals - through our "Library Buddy Program." We also purchase books and supplies for Payson Public Library.
PROJECTS WE SPONSOR:
We are an Annual Rim Country
Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase participant. We maintain the LFOP bookstore (a used bookstore in the Payson Public Library). Staffing is done entirely by volunteers.
Marguerite Noble and Rim Country Pioneer Life
This free and open to the public event is hosted by the Library Friends of Payson. Speaker Lita Nicholson will present a video program produced by the Northern Gila Country Historical Society that includes pioneer tales told in the voice of Marguerite Noble.
Local historic photographs are embedded
in the program as well. Noble was born in the town of Roosevelt and
wrote Filaree, now considered a classic novel about American pioneer
life set in turn-of-the-century Gila County. Noble was a charter
member of the Northern Gila County Historical Society and received
many honors, including the Sharlot Hall Award from the Sharlot Hall
Museum, the Al Merita Award from the Arizona Historical Society and
was selected as one of Arizona's first Culturekeepers.
During June the Library Friends of Payson
Bookstore will be featuring a 2 for the price of one
special on all hardback books. Stop by and stock up on your father’s
favorite author. This is a great
opportunity to purchase a Father’s Day gift that is sure to please
Dad. While you’re there pick up a
favorite VCR tape for 50 cents or browse the bargain table in the
lobby. All bargain table items will be
on sale for 25 cents.
