The Friends of the Library group began in 1991 and has helped in offering programs, holding fundraising events, and in purchasing many items that benefit the public. A multimedia projector, DVDs, videos, music CDs, and award-winning children's books are among many items obtained with proceeds chiefly from book sales and the Silent Auction.
The Friends welcome any adult interested in the East Palestine Memorial Public Library. Membership is free.
