Welcome
Friends!
The
Friends of the Orange County Library System was first organized in 1947 as a group of citizens in support of our Library System
and the role of public libraries in general. Over the years, the Friends have worked diligently to raise
funds for the Library System and to educate people about the important role libraries play in enriching the community.
Friends of the Library
are people who know that a community with a first-rate library is a better place to live. Friends of the
Library bring together involved, caring people who are willing to work for exceptional and innovative libraries.
Although
libraries are tax supported, the Friends of the Library help provide funding for extra services and programs.
The Friends is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization.
What Do We Do?
Friends of the Library make it possible for
the Orange County Library System to improve the quality and scope of its services. Everyone should be able
to enjoy the privileges of information access, entertainment and education found in a great library system – and the
Friends work to make that happen!
