NATIONAL FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY WEEK
 
Thank You to Our Friends of the Library!
 
As National Friends of the Library Week comes to a close, we want to send a heartfelt thank-you to our amazing Friends of the Kern County Library groups! These dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to support our branches through fundraising, book sales, and advocacy — helping us bring more programs, events, and resources to our communities.
 
We love our Friends because they remind us that libraries thrive when communities come together. Their generosity and passion make a difference every single day!
 
 
 
DID YOU KNOW?

Becoming a Friend of the Library is one of the best ways to support your local branch! Friends members help raise funds for special programs, sponsor reading initiatives, and advocate for the future of public libraries. Plus, it’s a great way to meet fellow book lovers and get involved in your community.
