The Granite City Public Library District provides a broad range of materials, qualified staff, and competent service in order to help members of its community obtain information to meet their personal, educational, career, and business needs, and to assist in their search for knowledge. The Friend's organization is made up of local residents who work to increase public awareness of library services and to raise funds for special library needs. A major fundraising activity of the Friends is conducting the annual booksale. New members are always welcome.
Applications are available at the main and branch libraries.
