Your membership provides networking opportunities, essential resources, expert guidance, recognition programs, and regular communications to strengthen your Friends group and library advocacy efforts.
As a new president of a Friends group that is trying to restart their group with new members, Consult-A-Friend has been a priceless resource! Understanding how other groups handled items did help us to navigate what we would like to do. I would highly recommend this service to other Friends groups.

What is a Friendeavor?
A ‘Friendeavor’ is something your Friends group endeavors to do that will have a positive impact on your library and community. It can be an educational program, a special fundraiser, or something that is a purely recreational event that brings people together.
Tell us about your Friendeavors so that we can share them with other Friends groups to both recognize your achievements and to share ideas with others.
