The mission of the Friends of the Alpharetta Library is to build a partnership between the library and the community and to advocate for quality library service for patrons of the Alpharetta Branch of the Atlanta-Fulton County Library System. Friends groups help libraries in a number of ways. We share a passion for our library and a desire to help it meet present challenges as well as future ones.
Members provide support and recognition to the library and represent the library to the community.
We invite members of the community who value the service of public libraries to join us and volunteer their time and talent to promote the use of the library, to assist the library staff, and to augment and enhance library service. An all-volunteer group relies on the time and talents of its members. The group needs persons with expertise in producing a professional quarterly newsletter, with experience in outreach to the business community, and who are interested in preparing semi-annual programs for members and the public. At the monthly book sales, volunteers are welcome for monitoring, displaying, or attending the sales desk. The Friends meet monthly at the library on Tuesday evenings preceding the first Saturday of the month.
