Thank You for Being a Friend (of the Library)
As the saying goes, “We all need friends,” and ours are the best!
#LibraryGivingDay is on April 6 and is a day for library lovers all over the country to show their support for their library. Our mission is to spark curiosity and foster knowledge by connecting everyone to resources, services, and opportunities. We do this every day in your neighborhood and community, with help from people just like you!

What are Friends of the Library?
The Friends of the Library (FOL) volunteers work tirelessly to support the library through sponsoring events, funding special Library projects, offering scholarships for staff, and much more!
What do they do?
Each FOL group is as unique as the branch they support. They stay busy:
- Telling the community about the Library
- Promoting childhood and life-long literacy
- Sponsoring programs and events like author visits
- Providing special resources like Maker Studio equipment
- Raising money through used book sales and other fundraisers
- Providing scholarships for staff members working toward their MLIS degree
- Supporting staff through training, appreciation events, and mini-grants for special projects
