What do the friends do?

  • The Friends use donations to help the library in many ways!
  • We provide funds for virtually all adult and children library programming, including films, book discussions, story hours, writing workshops, and summer reading programs, all of which are free. 
  • Friends provide membership passes to area museums, allowing families to visit them either free or at a reduced charge. 
  • We support the Homebound Delivery Program, pay for special book purchases to enrich the library's collection, and maintain the beautiful gardens and landscaping of the library grounds. 
  • We also run and sponsor the library's 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program and our annual Poet's Seat Poetry Contest and FGPL Spelling Bee.
