“The only way to have a friend is to be one.” – Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Become a member of the Friends of FDL to support the library and give back to the community! The Friends group supports the mission of the library through advocacy, donations, and volunteerism – and their support is essential to FDL! These dedicated volunteers maintain the ongoing book sale, help promote the library throughout the community, support our collection and facilities, and sponsor and assist with important programs like Summer Reading. Members pay annual dues of only $5 and meet quarterly. There are several opportunities to volunteer throughout the year, because the Friends:
- Facilitate the annual BIG Book Sale
- Collect paperback books to send to the troops
- Celebrate with awesome holiday basket giveaways for patrons
- Assist with fun events like Star Wars Day, Big Rig Petting Zoo, & FOLEPI’s Enchanted Forest
- Host the annual Holiday Craft & Bake Sale (with amazing homemade treats and gifts)
- Plus much more!
And if volunteering is not your thing, donations are always appreciated to support their endeavors and the library. Learn more at fondulaclibrary.org/support-fdl/friends/ and stay tuned for more ways to support the Friends during National Friends of Libraries Week later this month!
