Friends Group General Meeting
Be a Friend of Jamaica Bay Library
As a Friend of Jamaica Bay Library, you will play a critical role in the success of your branch and community.
ADVOCATE: Friends are a voice for the Library on relevant local, state and national issues. Members contact government officials, attend community meetings and speak to civic groups.
ENGAGE: As goodwill ambassadors, Friends spread the word in their communities, stimulating greater awareness of the Library and its resources.
SUPPORT: Friends provide grassroots backing for the Library, including, but not limited to, volunteering in the branch when needed.
FUNDRAISE: Friends’ activities generate revenue to supplement the Library’s budget, and sponsor public programs at branches, such as author talks, art shows, story hours and cultural events.
