Friends of the Library
Friends of Harford County Public Library are non-profit volunteer citizens groups in the community with a common concern for the library’s active expansion and participation in community life. They enrich the resources of the library by sponsoring book sales, fund-raising, and programming. There are eleven Friends of the Library groups in Harford County and each group advocates & raises funds on behalf of their specific branch.
For more information, contact your local branch or call Michele Louderback at 410-838-3749 ext. 2247. For more information about Friends-sponsored Used Book Sales, search Upcoming Progams for “Book Sale.”
