Friends of Libraries groups have their very own national week of celebration! United for Libraries will coordinate the 19th annual National Friends of Libraries Week Oct. 20-26, 2024. The celebration offers a two-fold opportunity to celebrate Friends. Use the time to creatively promote your group in the community, to raise awareness, and to promote membership.
