Friends groups at Brooklyn Public Library are volunteer, library advocacy
groups active in Brooklyn's neighborhoods and also in the Central Library
at Grand Army Plaza.
- Raising their community's awareness and enthusiasm about the local library
- Promoting the local library's resources and programs in the neighborhood
- Keeping local officials aware of the library's importance to the communities they represent
- Raising funds to enhance neighborhood library service
Friends do everything from letter writing and making legislative visits
to sponsoring library events; from planting gardens to organizing to organizing bake, craft and toy sales to musical performances for both children and adults.
At present, there are 12 Friends groups. They can always use another willing heart to help plan and carry
out projects to support Brooklyn Public Library.
We would be glad to work with you to begin a Friends group at your local branch.
