Welcome

Our fine public libraries serve all North Carolinians, providing myriad programs and services for people of all ages—from infants to senior citizens and everybody in between.  

Friends of North Carolina Public Libraries—our statewide volunteer Friends of the Library organization—provides a network for sharing ideas and resources to strengthen our public library service statewide.

FONCPL supports the North Carolina Public Library Directors Association in its efforts to improve public library facilities, services and holdings.

There is beauty and purpose in the work of all the people who direct or support public library service in North Carolina, and since 1980 FONCPL has been an enthusiastic advocate for their efforts.

Area Directors Plan Spring Workshops

Spring might seem far away while huddling for winter warmth, but the FONCPL 2010 Spring Workshops are right around the corner. Your Area Directors are already working to make them better than ever! Check the dates below and make plans now to attend one in your area of the state. These free workshops give Friends a chance to share ideas and learn what has worked best in programming, membership drives, fund-raising, advocacy and more for other groups.
