 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 this year.

Anyone interested in making

good-condition fiction and non-fiction books
of popular interest.
