Friends of the Pauline Haass Library is a voluntary non-profit organization that has supported the library for over 30 years. With well over 70 members, Friends has helped the library fund purchases that were not possible with the library's original budget.

With the success of the annual event, Schulz is thrilled to see the event grow.

Schulz’s joy comes from the fulfillment of the organization’s goal, which is to bring awareness of the library and what it has to offer a community.
