TextFriends of the Dolley Madison Library
The Friends of the Dolley Madison Library have been in
existence for over 35 years, having been formed initially to push for the
creation of a new building for the Library. The original Dolley Madison
Library was housed from 1956 until 1967 in a very small brick building,
previously the McLean Post Office, on Elm Street.

Accomplishments
Over the years the Friends have raised funds in support of a new
building, Library furnishings, equipment, signage, children's programs
and books. More recently, they have supported the Library's volunteer
program by funding an annual volunteer recognition luncheon. They also
funded a nationally-known picture book author, Rosalyn Schanzer, as part
of the Storybook Character Festival which the Library co-sponsored with
the McLean Community Center.
Membership
Membership in the Friends
of the Dolley Madison Library is free.
Book Sales
Funds are raised primarily through an ongoing booksale, maintained by
volunteers at the branch.
Donation Process
Anyone interested in making a donation of books to the branch is asked
to call in advance to make sure we are able to accommodate their donation
within our space limitations. The Friends are particularly happy to have
recent, good-condition fiction and non-fiction books of popular interest.
