Friends of the Ridley Park Library
Supporting Our Library. Strengthening Our Community.
The Friends of the Ridley Park Library are a group of community members who believe that a strong library makes a stronger community.
Through fundraising, volunteerism, community events, and advocacy, the Friends provide support that helps the Ridley Park Public Library offer more programs, services, resources, and opportunities to the people of Ridley Park.
What Do the Friends Do?
The Friends work behind the scenes and out in the community to help make the library the best it can be.
Support the Library
The Friends raise money to provide resources, equipment, programs, and special projects that go beyond what the library's regular operating budget can provide.
Their support helps the library respond to the changing needs of our community and create new opportunities for patrons of all ages.
Bring People Together
From fundraising events and book sales to community activities, the Friends create opportunities for neighbors to come together while supporting their local library.
Volunteer
The Friends are powered by community members who give their time, talents, and energy. Volunteers help organize events, support fundraisers, spread the word about the library, and much more.
Advocate for the Library
A library is more than a building full of books. It is a place to learn, connect, discover, and belong. The Friends help raise awareness of the important role the library plays in the Ridley Park community and encourage others to support its future.
