The Friends of the Emporia Public Library is an organization of people who believe in
the worth of an effective and attractive library. Its members pay a small membership
fee and many serve in a volunteer capacity on the Friends Board, in committees, and
in various roles for our two annual book sales. As a result of the efforts of these people,
our library benefits in many ways.
The Friends of the Emporia Public Library organization was founded on February 8,
1973, to support the initiative for a new library building. Now, more than 45 years
later, the Friends group has expanded its mission and serves the library by supporting
adult and children's programming, collection development, equipment and facility
improvement, increasing the Friends Endowment Fund, and more.
