At Meinders Community Library, we’re lucky to have the Pipestone Area Friends of the Library. PAFL supports the library in many different ways: they provide the treats you enjoy when you attend a program, help us put on amazing events like Full STEAM Ahead, and generously contribute to our collection by purchasing the Minnesota Book Award nominees every year and other books, like missing titles in popular series. For more information on PAFL and how to join, click on the PAFL link at the top of the page. In honor of our wonderful Friends group, here’s a list of books featuring great friendships.
