Friends of North
Carolina Public Libraries—our
statewide volunteer Friends of the
Library organization—provides a
network for sharing ideas and
resources to strengthen our public
library service statewide.
Our fine public
libraries serve all North
Carolinians, providing myriad
programs and services for people of
all ages—from infants to senior
citizens and everybody in between.
There is beauty and
purpose in the work of all the
people who direct or support public
library service in North Carolina,
and since 1980 FONCPL has been an
enthusiastic advocate for their
efforts.
See a public service
announcement about FONCPL from
Regina Gale Dozier, our
Communications Director (2:20; 14mB;
added June 1, 2019).
Recent issues of the
FONCPL Newsletter are on the
Resources
page.
The 2019 FONCPL Annual
Report has been added to the Resources
page.
2021 Workshops:
Mark Saturday, April 10, 2021, on
your calendars. This is the date
that FONCPL workshops will be held
around the state in a virtual
Webinar format. Click
here for more preliminary
information.
Board Members: We continue
to see Friends interested in
serving on our FONCPL Board. We
hold our meeting electronically,
so there is little travel
required. At this time we still
need: A Vice President, a
Secretary, one Area Director for
the West Central area, and one
Area Director for the Central
Area. Many of our long-serving
Board members have either retired
or moved, which is the reason for
so many vacancies at this time.
New Board members bring new energy
and new ideas, which we sorely
need. Please consider serving.
Contact President Judy
Hills or one of the Board
members for details.
