New Library Building Project

Our first goal of the friends group is to focus our energy on building a new library.  Raising between one and three million dollars through fund raising and grants for a new library building.

We are in need of more board directors, volunteers, grant writers, and fund raisers to join the Friends of the Hammond Community Library. Please contact us for ways to get involved and help bring this revitalization project to life.
