Upcoming Events

The Friends of the Ida Branch Library meet quarterly at the Ida Branch Library.  The meetings are open to everyone. All members are invited to attend and new members are always welcome.

As weather permits we meet and walk behind the Blue Bush Library.  If the weather is bad we meet at Frenchtown Mall to walk.

Each month, we will provide supplies and instructions for you to make a craft here in the library.  Registration is required.

New members are always welcome as we discuss the following books:

All members are invited to attend. New members are always welcome. Members plan fundraising events that benefit the library and the community of users. They share programming and event ideas at the meetings.
