Library Quick Links
Friends of the Silver Bay Public Library is a nonprofit organization that helps support the work of the library. The Friend’s mission is to foster community engagement, create opportunities, and inspire curiosity by promoting the services of the library to all those living, working, or visiting throughout the Silver Bay area. We do this by:
- Increasing awareness of and access to the library’s functions, resources, and services
- Assisting the library’s development of programs that provide opportunities for education, discovery, creativity, and imagination
- Enhancing and expanding the library’s services & resources for all community members
- Aiding in the provision of adequate library facilities, equipment, & operations through funding support
The Friends Board meets on the last Monday of every month at 5:00 PM in the library. Please join us if you are interested.

DOLLY PARTONS IMAGINATION LIBRARY
The Friends of the Library have been partnering with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for over 10 years to deliver books to kids’ homes. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is the flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation. It reaches more children than any other early childhood book gifting program, and mails free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth until age five, no matter their family’s income.
Families whose primary library is the Silver Bay Public Library with children age birth – five can sign up through the Imagination Library’s online registration form. Each month a book will come in the mail for your child(ren). This program is paid for by the Friends of the Silver Bay Public Library and is entirely free for participating families.
