Fund Raising Programs
Growing Together
The library is the center of lifelong learning in any community. It provides materials, services, programs and facilities for people of all ages. As the needs of library patrons and technology change, the library must also change. You can help ensure that future generations will have a library that has grown and developed to meet those needs.
You can also help endow those "extras" such as new acquisitions, programs and special projects which enhance the services offered to all who use the library. Your donation to The Medford Library Foundation, Inc. helps maintain an area resource for you and the community.
Christmas Tour of Homes
The Christmas Tour of Homes is held every other year, on even numbered years. Our last Tour was held on December 2, 2006. In addition to having five beautifully decorated homes to tour, the Friends hosted a reception at the Library with goodies and coffee/cider, a Christmas Bake Sale and a silent auction of gift baskets.
Thanks to all who made the Christmas Tour a success!

Summer Tour of Gardens
The Friends of the Library Garden Tour is held every other year, on odd numbered years. The 2007 Tour was held on Saturday, June 30, 2007. There were five beautiful gardens to visit. Thank you to the homeowners who shared their beautiful gardens with us.
In addition to leisure tours of the gardens, there were special events at some of the garden sites: the Master Gardeners presented a session of interest for garden lovers; a Flower Planter Silent Auction; and refreshments and treats available at the gardens.
