Friends of Stony Stratford Library (FOSSL)
The friends organisation was set up in 2002 to represent library users when MK Council was considereing changes to the service.
At the AGM held in the autumn the library service presents details of how the service is being used and questions can be asked.
From time to time events are organised. The Friends keep in touch with the national library campaign which is the lobby organisation to central government on library policy and practice.

For 2009
The Friends of Stony Stratford Library are developing a programme of regular events and exhibitions. These will mark significant anniversaries and local literary and historical connections, as well as being a showcase for Stony clubs and societies – so do contact us if you have an idea for an exhibition and would like to book the space.
Exhibitions will be displayed in the glass cabinet at the top of the stairs. All events start at 7.30 pm. on the first floor, and are accompanied by refreshments.
