FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

The Friends of the Fort Frances Public Library is a registered charitable organization whose aim is to make the Fort Frances Public Library the best that it can be. The Year 2000 was particularly exciting as the Friends was chosen by the local Canada Safeway for its Charity Challenge, raising over $30,000 in one year!
