Mission

Who are the Friends?

 The Friends of the A.f.Knotts Public Library, Inc. of Yankeetown and Inglis is a non-profit organization whose members are dedicated to promoting the library, it’s growth, and it’s educational and enrichment grograms, all crucial to assuring that we can continue to have this precious resource in our community.

Yankeetown and Inglis are fortunate to have a public library in the community. The programs and services offered for education and enrichment depend heavily upon the FRIENDS volunteers who raise funds with their membership fees, donations, memorial contributions and by sponsoring fundraising book sales and programs.
