Friends of the Alamance County Libraries

What are the Friends?
For over twenty years, the Friends, a volunteer organization dedicated to the active promotion, welfare and support of the Alamance County Public Libraries, has played an active part in the success of the libraries in Alamance County. The Friends of the Library are people living in and around Alamance County who believe excellent library services are important to everyone, adding to the quality of life in their community. As a tax exempt 501(c)(3) support group, the Friends work locally with each library in the county to promote their goals and objectives, as well as to promote the full range of services and resources offered by the libraries. The Friends share a common concern to preserve and protect intellectual freedom as guaranteed in our First Amendment Rights.
