Welcome to The Friends of the Independence Township Public Library Page
Are you wondering what the Friends do?
We're just a group of people trying to help our library by volunteering and trying to make a difference.
We hold 4 events per year: Spring Book Sale, Parking Lot Sale, Fall Book Sale, and Holiday Book Sale.
We’re always accepting donations of used books for these events. See our Donation Guidelines. Volunteers are always needed to sort donated books or work at events. Call 248 625-2212 or email

for more information.
We also accept donations to add new books to the library’s collection in honor or in memory of someone who loves or loved books and reading. Simply fill out the form and mail or deliver it to the library along with your check made out to the Friends of the Independence Township Library. Honor and Memorial books include a plate recognizing the honoree and the donor. An acknowledgement letter is sent to the individual you specify, and you will receive a letter recognizing your tax deductible donation. If you have questions, please call the library at 248-625-2212.
Perhaps you're wondering why the Friends do this?
We try to purchase "extras" for our library that aren't in their budget. The library staff prepares a wish list twice a year for the Friends to consider purchasing for the Library. The Friends have recently provided:
- Children's Programs
- Laminating Machine
- CD/DVD Display Cases
- Bike Racks
- Wireless Access
- Children's Literacy Education Workstations
- Ten New Computers
- Remodeled Teen Lounge
Who are the Friends?
Anyone that wants to join and support our library! We're really just a fun group that's always looking for new volunteers. We currently have over 200 members.
