Friends of the Library Make the Difference


As Friends, we are the primary fundraisers for the Library. We promote the importance of the Library in our community, provide materials and equipment that the Library could not ordinarily purchase from its budget, sponsor enriching cultural programs, raise funds for special initiatives, and volunteer time to assist with projects. We conduct a book sale each spring and fall and coordinate the Library Fund Drive for the Youngstown Free Library Board of Trustees.

All proceeds directly benefit Library services, materials and resources. Our work is vital to the Library's success.
