National Friends of Library Week

October 18 - 24, 2026

Friends groups help provide the library with high profile within the community, and libraries rely on support from those who benefit from them (adults, parents, children, students, and faculty, as well as the business community that relies on a well-educated workforce).

Friends groups raise money, raise the library’s profile, and provide invaluable volunteer assistance, stretching the library's capacity to provide programs, outreach, and education to our community.
