About Us…

The People Who ARE the Friends

The Friends of the Fayette County Public Library organization is made up of YOU and other individuals, families and businesses who desire for the library and its community to thrive! Membership is available at many levels and supports all of the enriching programs and resources that make The Fayette County Public Library stand head and shoulders above the rest.

Membership levels include Individual, Family, Senior Citizen, Corporate, Patron, Peach and Golden Peach. Please visit Friend Memberships to see how you can join today. We are always looking for more Friends!

 

Advantages of Being a Friend…

In addition to the pride of being a part of a dynamic organization that makes many programs and events available to the community, our members also:

  1. Receive our newsletter with Friends information and announcements

  2. Can shop early at our In-Person and Online Book Sales. Our twice-a-year in-person book sales are open to Friends Members only before the general public is admitted. Monthly online sales are also only available to members twenty-four hours before the general public. Members get the first selections!

  3. Can take advantage of our Book Concierge service. Any Member can request a book or author that he or she is interested in and our Book Sale Team will search our inventory for the request, allowing the member to purchase that book or books. This service is available for members year-round!

  4. Receive tax donations for yearly dues and donations

  5. Are advocates for the Public Library System

  6. Make a difference in the community by helping in the decision-making process of the organization.

 

We actively encourage participation in the Friends by local clubs, organizations and businesses who support our purpose as Corporate sponsors. Corporate supporters provide services, materials and financial support to our fundraising efforts and programs. We are also thankful to our Peach Members and Patrons that give above and beyond! We extend a special “thank you” to Dollar-Wise Mini Storage for giving us a fantastic deal for storage of our books in between book sales!
