About the Friends

The purpose of the Friends of the Library is to support and promote the Allen County Public Library and assist the library in carrying out its mission. Since 1981, the Friends of the Allen County Public Library has made significant contributions to the steady growth of the library and its services to the community.

The Friends rely on membership contributions to sustain programs and support the library. By being a member, each individual contributes to the tradition of excellence in library service that we all enjoy and appreciate. Gift memberships are available.
