About Friends

Our mission is to support the Brandon Township Public Library through special activities, fundraising, and the acquisition of library materials.

Some members support the Friends simply by paying their annual dues, while others become more involved by donating their time. Funds raised from membership dues, used book sales, and events sponsored by the Friends of Brandon Library are used to provide the extras that make our Library a great asset to our community. Why not join today?

Membership is $10 for an individual/student/senior membership, $25 for a family membership or $100 for a patron/business membership.
