Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Girard Free Library is a group whose purpose is to support and assist the library. The Friends sponsor the summer reading program, purchase equipment and furnishing, and fund special events and speakers. Check the library's monthly calendar for scheduled programs and occasional meeting changes. We would love to have more Friends in attendance at our meetings and programs. Find a Friend's membership form below.
