Why become a dues-paying member of the Friends of Why become a dues-paying member of the Friends of the Fresno County Public Library? Why not!?

For just $25 a year, you can help fund snacks, craft supplies, programs, and performances across Fresno County! Plus, if you choose to join a branch group, they'll receive at least $10 of your dues, so your money can stay even closer to home!

Getting involved at your local branch is the best way to make sure your neighborhood has the kind of programs and services you'd really like to see there-- and it sometimes even leads to bigger, better buildings, as in the case of the Politi branch! Advocacy from the Friends helped make it happen!

Join online today at fresnofol.org/join, or find a membership brochure at your local branch!
