Become a Friend

The Friends of the Lawrence County Public Library is a group organized to support and promote the use, services, and facilities of the library, in both Lawrenceburg and Loretto.

The Friends are people who support the library through membership dues, volunteer work at the library, and participation in library programs. The organization is nonprofit and is governed by a Board of Directors.

Dues are $20 per calendar year. Money from dues and fundraising activities is used to mail information to members and to purchase items the library needs that are not covered by the budget appropriated by the Lawrence County Commission and the City of Lawrenceburg, which jointly fund library operations.
