Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Paw Paw District Library is a nonprofit organization that works to enhance library services, promote literacy and love of the Library in our community.  The Friends raise funds through membership dues, book sales, and other fundraisers to support activities not covered by the Library’s budget.

Friends Read Book Club

Join us the second Thursday of each month for our Friends Read Book Club, sponsored and presented by the Friends of the Paw Paw District Library! Whether you’re looking for book recommendations, eager to discuss a beloved novel, or simply want to connect with other book lovers, this book club is for you. Come prepared to talk about any titles you want, as there’s no assigned book! Enjoy light refreshments as you meet new friends who share your passion for reading. Discover what your Friends are reading below:
