The Logan County Friends of the Library was officially established in 1968 with Mary Lou McEndre as the first president. Logan County Friends of the Library is a non-profit, having secured 501(c)3 certification with the IRS. Over the years the organization has provided book review programs and hosted authors and other speakers to enhance library programming. The group has purchased equipment and furnishings, such as a microfilm reader and the benches in front of the library. Annual dues and fundraisers have funded the Summer Reading Program and other children’s programs.
