Friends of the Lincoln Library (FOLL)
Every non-profit institution needs friends—and the Lincoln Public Library is no exception. In 2003, thanks to Director Carol Riley's vision, the Friends of Lincoln Library came into existence. That vision came to fruition with the inspired help of the soon-to-be first President Martie Smith. The Friends continue to be an enthusiastic and generous supporter of the library, providing funds beyond the capabilities of the library’s budget. This partnership resulted in countless additional programs and purchases of equipment, furnishings and materials, both print and online, that enable the library to offer those extras that make all the difference. Chances are if you or your family have attended a children’s program, viewed a film, seen a well-known author, learned a new skill, or enjoyed a performance by a musical group at the library, the Friends were involved, if not solely responsible. Truly, people of all ages, backgrounds and tastes can find print and media materials and programs of interest to them, thanks in large part to the Friends' contributions.
MISSION STATEMENT
To raise public awareness about the importance of the library to our community and to promote its use. The Friends encourage the donation of time and assistance by townspeople and sponsor special activities that expand and enrich the library's programs and services.
