WHAT DO FRIENDS DO?

Friends sponsor book sales, promote reading through fun contests for all ages of our library community, and organize a fantastic annual Easter Egg Hunt that enjoys great community reviews! Scheduled for the Saturday one week before Easter, this free event is held at the Library, complete with a visit from the Easter Bunny.

In the past, Friends sponsored Evenings at the Library, a Book Club, Knitting Classes, chances to win Gift Baskets, Harry Potter release events, Meet the Animals, and Chess Tournaments. Friends of the Youngsville Library also participates in the Youngsville Fall Festival by offering a book sale to the public. These activities have increased both= the number of new patrons and book circulation.

WHEN ARE MEETINGS HELD?

Meetings are scheduled quarterly at 7:00 p.m. in the Activities Room of the Youngsville Library. Please ask the librarian when the next meeting is.
