Friends of the Library
The Library is here for everyone and the Friends are here for the Library.
The Friends of the Library (FOL) is open to anyone with a desire to support and promote the River Forest Public Library and encourage the lifelong pleasure of reading. The FOL is an entirely volunteer-run organization. The FOL sends a quarterly newsletter to all FOL members and funds delivery of the Library’s newsletter to all River Forest households. The FOL supports youth initiatives by contributing to the Library’s annual Summer Reading program. In past years, the FOL have presented books to summer reading participants, donated furniture to the Library, and underwritten a Teen Advisory Board writing workshop. The FOL sponsors stimulating programs for adults and children. Friends of the Library membership is open to all and new members are welcomed. By joining the Friends of the Library you are supporting your Library and your community.
FOL principal sources of income are:
The sale of note cards at 10 for $4.00 (available at the Library), the Library book sale, donations, and the $5.00 annual individual membership dues.
