Celebrate Your Friends Group Oct. 19-25, 2025

Friends of Libraries groups have their very own national week of celebration! United for Libraries will coordinate the 20th annual National Friends of Libraries Week Oct. 19-25, 2025. The celebration offers a two-fold opportunity to celebrate Friends. Use the time to creatively promote your group in the community, to raise awareness, and to promote membership.

Now is a great time to join or donate to the Friends.
