Friends of the Dayton Metro Library The Friends of the Dayton Metro Library is a nonprofit membership organization of Dayton Metro Library supporters.

The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit group of supporters of the Dayton Metro Library. They may visit their neighborhood library regularly to check out books, read magazines, or look for movies or music. They may have children who use the library for school projects and homework. Maybe they benefit from the library’s resources for businesses or job hunters, enjoy free classes and programs or take advantage of outreach services for seniors. They all have at least one thing in common -- they all believe in the importance of their public library!

Will we see you there?!

Join us TOMORROW at the Wilmington-Stroop Branch for featuring Electrified Melons. Electrified Melons began as a solo project in a tiny bedroom studio apartment, but they are evolving into something more. From learning how to record demos to releasing high quality Punk music, the band will make their live debut in early 2024. Thanks to our partner WYSO Public Radio and our sponsor Friends of the Dayton Metro Library. DaytonMetroLibrary.org/TinyStacks
