Our Mission: The purpose of our organization is to support the Friendswood Library’s mission and vision to engage, educate, entertain, and empower the community. We promote public awareness of library resources, achievements, and needs while sponsoring and funding programs, cultural events, and other library services that do not receive financial support from the City of Friendswood. The Friends of the Library is a volunteer-run 501c3 charitable organization.
