Fund Raising ProgramsGrowing TogetherThe library is the center of lifelong learning in any community. It provides materials, services, programs and facilities for people of all ages. As the needs of library patrons and technology change, the library must also change. You can help ensure that future generations will have a library that has grown and developed to meet those needs. You can also help endow those "extras" such as new acquisitions, programs and special projects which enhance the services offered to all who use the library. Your donation to The Medford Library Foundation, Inc., The Friends of the Library, or the DEWS helps maintain an area resource for you and the community.

What exactly "dew" the DEWS do?Students in grades 5-12 come in after school, in the summer, or whenever they have time to volunteer. Tasks may include straightening shelves, scanning and putting away books, or anything else to help out the library. In addition to volunteering, we have occasional meetings and fundraisers. The money we raise goes toward new materials for the library. Some of the fund raisers that the DEWS have held in the past are:
The money than gets donated back to the library in ways that the members of the DEWS see fit at the present time. The DEWS started the library's Wii game collection and have helped out with many other collections that may have needed some new materials. Also, the DEWS like to donate to feed and take care of your library pets. Return to Top |
