Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Alleghany Highlands Regional Library (also called “the Friends” or “FOL”) is an volunteer organization that supports library projects and programs.  Their efforts fund the majority of children’s programming and the library’s annual Summer Reading Program. They also help keep the library beautiful by providing funds for grounds maintenance.

  • Fundraising – used book sales, membership drive, adopt-a-shelf program, craft sales, library promotions
  • Volunteer – assist with sales and special events
  • Ambassadors - spread the word about library resources and programs

The Friends maintain a regular section of “For Sale” items within the Library, and host an annual “Book Bonanza Sale” each year in August.
