The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization or group that supports and advocates for our local library and libraries in general. They consist of community members who volunteer their time and resources to promote and enhance the services provided by the library.


The primary goal of Friends of the Library groups is to raise funds to support the library's programs. We organize book sales, fundraising events, or membership drives to generate financial support. These funds are often used to purchase new books, educational materials, and technology, or to fund various library initiatives.
In addition to fundraising, Friends of the Library also serve as advocates for the library within the community. They help raise awareness about the importance of libraries and their role in promoting literacy, education, and community engagement. Friends of the Library members may also volunteer their time to assist with library programs, events, and outreach efforts.


Overall, Friends of the Library play a vital role in supporting and enriching public libraries, helping them thrive and continue to serve as valuable community resources.
