It’s National Friends of Libraries Week! Now in its 20th year, this weeklong celebration recognizes all the incredible things that volunteer Friends groups do for their local libraries. Want to get involved? We have you covered!
Coordinated by United for Libraries, the 19th annual National Friends of Libraries Week, observed October 20-26, finds libraries across the United States celebrating and honoring the often-unsung heroes working behind-the-scenes to make a lasting difference for their libraries and communities: library Friends groups.
It’s National Friends of Libraries Week! Since the beginning of the American library movement, Friends groups have been formed by citizens using their collective powers to do everything from running a book sale to ensuring that our American library legacy remains viable. Library Friends groups are incredibly important. They can literally make the difference between a budget increase and cut for their libraries. Are you interested in becoming more involved with your local library? If so, consider becoming a library Friend. By contributing as a library Friend, you can make a lasting difference for your library and community.
