I love the place; the magnificent books; I require books as I require air. ~Sholem Asch
Welcome to Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, Inc! We are a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to enhancing the Montgomery County Public Libraries through our fundraising and advocacy efforts.
Here, you can find out the most up-to-date information about the Friends, our chapters, and upcoming events throughout the County. Friends of the Library supports county-wide projects that enhance the love of reading and life-long learning. We work with all genres of people-new immigrants, children, older adults, and everyone in between.
We hope that you’re as passionate about our libraries as we are. Friends of the Library works to promote librarianship as a career and to encourage local authors, new and established alike. Join Friends of the Library today, and help us keep our libraries vital.
