What Friends Do:
Friends of the Library groups are hundreds of individuals who donate their time and expertise to support, promote, and raise awareness of their library. They do this through advocacy and through fundraising (usually book sales). Each Friends group works with the library’s staff to support its own branch, as well as the entire library system.
Friends groups exist to support, promote, increase patronage of, and augment the resources of their neighborhood library. They also provide needed funds for materials, equipment, programming, and beautification projects not funded by the library’s budget.
Because of financial help from our Friends, children, teens, seniors, and families in Fort Bend County have benefited from programs and services like these:
- Summer Reading Club
- Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra
- Lunar New Year Festival
- Earth Day Celebration
- Graphic-Novel Day
- Comic Book Day
- Popcorn and Movie Events
- Various Musical, Multicultural, & Theatrical Performances
- Various Continuing Education Programs
- Adult Programs
- Children & Family Programs
- And MUCH more!
In Fort Bend County, each branch library in the system has its own Friends group. To get specific information on each of them, choose your branch below:
