Who We Are

We are enthusiastic supporters of our community “living room”: our public library.  But more than that, we are lovers of literacy.

Mission

The Friends of the Library (FOL) mission is to raise funds and public awareness in the community to support the Spring Hill Public Library. FOL is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

The FOL provides support to the Library and its staff in a variety of ways.

What We Do

Our primary roles are:

1. Advocacy

  • Attending Board of Mayor and Aldermen meetings

  • Communicating with legislators on topics important to libraries

  • Voting for state and local candidates who demonstrate support for libraries

2.  Volunteering

  • Assisting library staff with daily operational tasks

  • Recognizing staff birthdays

  • Providing help and financial support for library programs

  • Participating in events that honor the library and its staff

  • Accepting leadership roles in the FOL to ensure the organization’s success, such as being a part of the FOL Board and leading committees and project teams

3. Fundraising

  • Accepting and sorting donations

  • Helping with book sales – 2nd Look Book Store, eBay on-line sales, quarterly book sales, and pop-up sales

  • Coordinating and volunteering for special fundraising events as needed
