The Friends organization was founded in 1982 to support the Fayetteville Public Library in its mission through volunteering, fundraising, and advocacy.
Through membership dues, the Friends Bookstore and annual book sales, The Friends of FPL provide funding to assist the library. On-going support includes enhancing library collections, programs and services. To date, the Friends of FPL have pledged a $250,000 donation to the Library’s National Endowment for the Humanities grant.
