Friends of the Athens-Clarke County 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.

They work to expand and strengthen library services and programs through fund-raising and volunteerism. They are ambassadors for the library, heightening visibility and awareness of the library and its services by representing the library in the community. Friends are lobbyists, as well. Individually and collectively, Friends use their influence to assist the library in obtaining desired financial support and representing library needs to county commissioners, state legislators and the media.
