Friends of the Library, Montgomery County

Friends of the Library, Montgomery County was founded in 1982 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1983. With the support of the County Executive’s office and the Library Board, Friends began to organize support from the County’s community of Library patrons that would supplement the basic operating funds provided for in County’s annual budget. As a private non-profit, Friends has operated independently for over 26 years without relying on government funding. We are not part of the Montgomery County Public Library System or the County, although we love both!
