A Great Library Needs
More Than Great Books...It Needs Great Friends Like YOU!
|
|
The Friends of the Library supports the
Columbus Metropolitan Library by providing
extra programming and services relevant to
each branch and the community it serves. 100% of membership dues fund a wide range of
enhancements, projects and special events
not covered within the library's current
budget or that are ineligible to be paid for with
public funds.
Among the Friends of the Library's core
projects is The Library Store, a museum gift
shop owned and operated by the Friends.
