Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Brown County Library (FOL) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization that  raises funds to benefit the growing needs of the Library. Our volunteer members advocate, educate, and raise funds on behalf of the Library, its patrons, and the Brown County community. Funds raised through membership dues, book sales and donations directly support many of the library’s programs and activities.

The FOL is dedicated to promoting our Library as an essential institution of Brown County. Please consider joining or renewing your membership today.
