Public Library.

Special Message during Pandemic
The Friends normally raise over $150,000 each year to support Library collections, programs and services. This money is raised entirely by volunteers through the processing and sale of books generously donated by our community. Books are sold directly at our Big Book Sales and in the Friends Book Store. The impact of Covid-19 on the Friends’ ability to raise money for the Library this year will be significant. We were unable to generate our expected April Book Sale revenue of over $20,000 and our Book Store cannot generate revenue while the Library is closed. Please consider helping the Friends support the Library this year with a donation of any size.

Annual Membership Meeting

Our annual meeting (held via Zoom this year) included a presentation of Friends activities and results for the year. Members voted on the annual board slate and proposed change to our Bylaws. Library Director Susan Brown shared an update on the Library’s re-opening status and plans.

Friends Funds at Work
The Friends of Chapel Hill Public Library raise more than $150,000 for the Library each year from the sale of books donated by the community, membership dues and donations. In addition to an annual pledge of support for collections, programs, and services, the Friends fund a variety of special projects:

Explore More In Pritchard Park provides outdoor experiential learning opportunities in science, nature and the environment.

The Circulator brings staff, collections and services into the community.

The Summer Blast creates a fantastic season of story times, book clubs, special performances and summer reading programs for children and families.

The Welcome Hub provides a new modern service point for Library users.

The Library Lobby Redesign includes comfortable new seating, live plants, rugs and lamps.

The Banned Books Exhibit Opening and Meet the Artist Reception precedes the release of banned book trading cards to the public.

The programs and services the Library provides to our community would not make as much of a positive impact without the financial support provided by the Friends through annual memberships, book sale proceeds and other activities. These funds are put to use enhancing every aspect of the Library.
We love our Friends!
