Who We AreFriends of North Carolina Public Libraries was established in 1980 and is a statewide organization run by volunteers from around the state. Our mission is to promote excellent library service throughout North Carolina by encouraging and assisting the formation, growth, and development of Friends of the Library groups and by providing the means for Friends to exchange ideas, information and experiences.

What We DoWe encourage and assist the formation and development of local Friends of the Library groups. We foster and encourage cooperative efforts between citizens and libraries. We provide five free workshops each spring as an opportunity for Friends to exchange ideas, information and experiences. One workshop is held in each of the five FONCPL areas: Northeast, Southeast, Central, West Central and Mountain We keep our members informed about Friends issues and events with a quarterly newsletter and an electronic discussion list: NC-FRIENDS. Anyone can subscribe to the list at <http://lists.ncmail.net/mailman/listinfo/nc-friends>. We present cash awards annually to outstanding Friends groups. We support the North Carolina Public Library Directors' annual Library Legislative Day in Raleigh. |
