The Friends continually look for new and creative ways to raise funds to support Hackley Public Library. We welcome your ideas and your help on planning committees and during events. Examples might be a downtown Happy Hour, Ice Cream Social, etc.
We provide $20,000 each year to support hundreds of free programs for children and adults, including programs that focus on early literacy, history, and music, as well as technology classes and author visits. Friends also supports cultural enrichment in Muskegon through the annual Charles H. Hackley Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities.
