The health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.
~Carl Sagan
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, the bookstores, 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.
