We are a group of volunteers who are passionate about the library and its service to our community. Join us and support the Athens-Clarke County Library.

Become a Friend today!

An independent nonprofit, we support the library by raising funds, advocacy, volunteer work, and events.

Funds we raise help to underwrite a range of services and programs at the Athens library, including: children’s programs; teen and youth services; adult book discussions; summer reading; concerts and arts events; library staff continuing education; and acquisitions of special collections and equipment.
