Friends of the Library

"Libraries are not made, they grow" -- Augustine Birrell

Founded in 1984, the Friends of the Library (FOL) is a group of volunteers who value the Library’s role in serving the learning, literacy, research, recreation and communication needs of the community.

• As a registered charity, the FOL raises funds in support of enhancements to the Library collections, programs and services.
• The FOL assists in volunteer activities, and partners with other community groups in helping to promote the Library as a cultural centre.
• The FOL promotes public awareness and appreciation of the library.
