Friends of the Perry Carnegie Library
What is it?
Friends is a non-profit organization of volunteers who believe in the value of the public library and work to enhance its services through fundraisers, raising public awareness, and generally supporting the library. To put it another way, FOL members are "cheerleaders" for the Library, drumming up support and keeping people involved.
What types of activities are Friends involved in?
* Fundraisers for the Library
* Assistance with Library programs
* Sponsorship of special events
* Keeping the library books organized
When are the meetings?
Friends meet the 4th Tuesday of every month at 2:00 PM, in the library's Thelma Knox Brown meeting room.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TIME HAS RECENTLY CHANGED.

Who do I talk to for answers?

I'm a very busy person.
I don't have time for a lot of meetings and projects.
That's OK, too. The most important thing is that you show how much you love and support the Library by being a Friends member. Contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Becoming a Friend helps a friend – your library!
