Friends of the Library

Enhancing the resources and services libraries offer, ensuring they remain community hubs for learning and exploration.

Supporting Various Initiatives to Enhance Library Facilities

Friends of the Library supports public libraries across Anastasia Island, Hastings, Bartram Trail, and Ponte Vedra Beach. Through their dedicated efforts, they enhance the resources and services these libraries offer, ensuring they remain hubs for learning and exploration. One of the primary ways Friends of the Library achieves its mission is by accepting donations from generous individuals and local businesses. These contributions fund various initiatives to improve library facilities and programs.

The organization's work includes maintaining and upgrading library facilities to create welcoming environments for patrons. This involves physical improvements and ensuring the libraries have modern furnishings and technology.

Providing a Wide Range of Books

In addition to facility maintenance, Friends of the Library organizes book sales throughout the year. These sales serve a dual purpose: they raise funds to support library operations while promoting literacy and a love of reading within the community.

Moreover, Friends of the Library funds a variety of educational workshops and programs. These workshops cover various topics, from technology training to creative writing and arts and crafts, catering to individuals of all ages.

Promoting Volunteerism Within the Community

 Friends of the Library seeks volunteers who are passionate about supporting library initiatives. Volunteers help with everything from organizing events and book sales to assisting with library programs and outreach efforts.
