JOIN FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

The Friends are citizens who choose to help their local library. They are the "caring core" of libraries across the country. Operating with a self-elected board of directors, they serve as the connecting link between the library and the community helping communication flow in both directions.
For information about Friends of the Library groups not listed above, please contact your local library.

DONATE TO THE ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY LIBRARY ENDOWMENT FUND

To meet the needs of our community and the opportunities of tomorrow, the board of the Athens-Clarke County Library established the Endowment Fund to receive and administer contributions that benefit the library for the people of Clarke County and surrounding areas.

SHOP AT THE LIBRARY STORE

All monies from sales made in the Library Store benefit the Athens-Clarke County Library. Visit the Library Store webpage for the store hours and to see featured items.

DONATE USED BOOKS, MUSICAL CD'S, AND DVDS

The Athens Regional Library System accepts gifts of money, books, films, pamphlets, periodicals and the like with the understanding that the library may do with them as it sees fit. These items may be taken to any library for donation. The library staff will go through the items and determine if they can be used in the library. If they cannot be used in the library, they will go to be stored for the next Friends of the Library book sale.
