Friends of the Library

Almost every one of our 18 public libraries in the Brevard County Libraries system has its own non-profit Friends group. Through their fund-raising and publicity efforts, these wonderful organizations promote and support the libraries. Typically, they provide monies to obtain items which could not otherwise be purchased. The Friends raise money through their membership fees as well as through various fund-raising projects. They often support special programming at the libraries, such as our annual Children’s Summer Programs. Some of the groups have also provided funds to assist with construction or renovation projects for the libraries in their communities.
