Welcome to The Friends of the Mitchell Community Public Library
Individuals, organizations, and businesses are encouraged to provide support for the programs and activities of the Mitchell Library.
Projects supported by the Friends have included:
- Microfilming the Mitchell Times at year's end
- Providing refreshments for library programs for children and adults
- Sponsoring the summer reading program for children
- Sponsoring the winter reading program for adults
- Sponsoring the end-of-summer Scholastic Book Fair

- Selected and purchased from the Persimmon Festival Art Show (held in the library during the week of the festival) Phyllis Westfall's painting "The Babysitter" which is on permanent display at the library. Phyllis has been an active library supporter and has used her interviewing talents to further the library's oral history archives
