As a Friend of the Library, you can begin to show how much your library means to you. And as we work together, we can help the library grow into a system that's even more helpful, with greater resources and expanded possibilities. All it takes is a few dedicated Friends willing to pitch in and work for a remarkable harvest. The Friends of the Library support the Birmingham Public Library through their membership dues and by sponsoring book sales and other fundraisers. The funds are used to purchase books and equipment and fund library sponsored programs.
Friends support the library by encouraging love of the written word, and fighting illiteracy.
They support the library by being active in the political arena, because public funding is not something we can afford to take for granted. They support the library through volunteering to help at special functions. Friends of the Library make it possible for the Birmingham Public Library to improve the quality and scope of library services. The library believes that everyone should be able to enjoy the privileges of information access, entertainment and education found in a first-class library system, and the Friends work to make it happen. Just print out the membership form, fill it out and drop it in the mail with your check for the annual membership dues.
