Friends are volunteers dedicated to enhancing library services, equipment, and programs not normally provided by public funding. Friends provide financial support through membership fees, donations, book sale earnings, and special events.
Friends also volunteer in the library.
There are Friends groups for branches and for some divisions at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. Contact your local branch for more information about their Friends group.
