How Do I Support My Library?


Friends of the Library Groups

Each community library has a “Friends of the Library” organization that supports their local library by advocating for library services, increased funding, and improved and expanded facilities.  They serve as library volunteers and operate book sales and other fund-raising events to assist libraries with special projects beyond the scope of the county budget.  If you would like to join a Friends group, contacts are listed here:

• Friends of the Gulf Breeze Library: Contact: Bob Menzer, 932-5166. A Book Sale is operated in the library Monday-Friday, 10:30-4:00.  Monthly meetings are held each month on the second Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. at the Gulf Breeze Library.
