Membership
A member is a special part of a whole—a connecting structure—a unit of support.
That is what you are as a member of the Friends of the Coralville Public Library. You have opportunities to join activities and be a part of projects serving our community. Your dues help with services and materials that maintain the leadership of our fine Library.
Anyone can be a Friend! Fill out the online Friends Registration form below, or pick a form up from the Coralville Public Library.
Paper membership forms and dues can be picked up and dropped off at the front desk of the Coralville Public Library, or register online below. Questions and comments can be directed to the Friends at their e-mail address FriendsOfCoralvillePL@gmail.com or by leaving a note at the front desk.
