Friends & Volunteers
Friends groups at the Bucks County Free Library enthusiastically support their branches by hosting fundraisers and sponsoring special events for children and adults. In addition to book sales, Friends conduct recycling projects, collect supermarket receipts, and have rummage sales.
Friends donations help pay for library materials, story times and performers for children and families, and adult programs. Recent adult programs sponsored by Friends have included presentations on the history of cooking, spinning bowls meditation, historical impersonation of Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt, and musical performances.
Contact the Friends in your community to find out what they're doing and how you can participate and help your library.
