Historical Note
Following groundwork by Alma Dobberfuhl, Library Director, an organizational meeting convened on January 25, 1981. The goal of the Friends of the Library was stated in the minutes of the first meeting: “To support the development of the materials collection of the Concordia College Library.” The list of charter members contains sixty names. The first annual meeting was held on May 17, 1981, with twenty-five persons present. The group decided to apply the initial funds gathered, $1,195, to the purchase of a microfiche reader. On September 18, 1981, Concordia’s Board of Regents approved the Friends of the Library constitution.
The Friends of the Library hosted a number of fund-raising events throughout its history and was responsible for the purchase of many library materials as well as needed equipment, including the library’s first computer in 1989. The minutes of the September 12, 1993, board meeting announce a future board meeting for November 7, but no record exists that this meeting or any future meetings (or sponsored events) were held.
