The Friends of the Green Cove Springs Public Library was formed in 1989 by a small group of dedicated community volunteers here in Green Cove Springs, Florida. Their initial goal was to serve the Green Cove Springs Library, raise funds for the purchase of necessary materials and equipment, and offer children and adult programs through the sale of donated materials.
More than 20 years later, the Friends continue to be a vital support to the Library and the local community. Through their efforts, thousands of children have discovered the wonders of reading, and adults have expanded their minds and improved their lives. When the Library has had a need, the Friends have worked to meet that need through partnerships with various civic groups, charitable organizations, and businesses. The Friends endeavor at all times to support the Library and its mission in our community.
