In 2020, the Friends of the Fergus Falls Public Library were able to give more than $21,000 in support of the Library for

-    Adult, youth and early learning programming, resources and books 

-    Otter Express rides to the Library

-    The summer reading program

-    Makerspace classes

-    Digital and online content including Hoopla, website upgrades, and a virtual tour

-    Guest speakers and kits for book groups meeting via Zoom 

-    An aquarium 

-    Electricity for the car charging station

Without the Friends of the Library, many resources and programs would not exist.

What you can do:  

•    Support the Library and join the Friends.  Become a member.

•    Make a donation.  Gifts can be made in memory or in honor of someone special.

•    Buy used books at our ongoing book sales at the Friends bookstore.
