Friends of the Madera County Library, established in 1981, has decorated a tree for Trees for Charity every year since 2014. Funds raised from the auction sale of their tree support the Madera County Library and its programs and services. Some of the Friends gather around the tree for a photo before decorating their 2023 tree.
