The Shelby County Public Library Friends of the Library is a membership-supported, non-profit organization that raises money through donations and book sales.

Since our Friends group was established, we have helped cover cost of events, library equipment, and reading incentives. 

Becoming a member of the Friends is an easy way to invest in the success of the library!

Membership Details

Want to see great programs and services brought to Shelby County, but don't need another commitment added to your schedule or don't have much extra money?

Become as involved with the Friends of the Library as you would like or are able. 

The Friends are a nonprofit organization managed by volunteers. A committee meets four times a year at the main library (officers, see Friends Of The Library Board And Meetings page).

These meetings are typically held on the second Tuesday of February, April, August, and November. They are a good place to hear about what's going on at the library and to brainstorm about future programs. All members of the Friends have voting privileges.

Become A Member

Membership dues start at $15/year. Whether you are an individual, family or a business who would like a membership, your contribution helps support meaningful programs and additions to the library. There are no requirements to attend meetings or to volunteer at events. All gifts are tax deductible.

There are opportunities to volunteer at library events throughout the year and at the upcoming bookstore.

If you do not have time that you can give to meetings or programs but would like to help out financially, there are several ways that you can give.
