Proceeds from events like their biannual book sale have resulted in many enhancements to the library such as a 3-D printer, VHS to DVD and vinyl to MP3 digital conversion equipment, the Peek-A-Book system in the children's department, added titles to the audiobook, Spanish, and large print collections, and a popcorn machine that is used during movie events.

The Friends meet every third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Dundee Library. All are welcome to attend and join.
