The membership is composed of community minded people throughout Hernando County, some active in the Friends and others, inactive by their own choice, but just as supportive and interested. The Friends believe that public libraries are vital centers of communication necessary to provide information and understanding of the complex issues of this modern world.
Book sales generate most of the monies for funding.
These monies then are used to purchase items for the library system. The Friends encourage gifts and endowments to the Hernando County Public Library System.
