50 Years and Counting
50 Years and Counting
For more than 50 years, the Friends have worked as a nonprofit, volunteer group to support the Bonita Springs Library. In fact, we've grown to be the largest supporter of an individual library in Lee County. Each year, we sponsor hundreds of in-library activities, fund the summer reading program, contribute to the Southwest Florida Reading Festival, and much more.
Fun and Friendly
50 Years and Counting
50 Years and Counting
The Friends are a fun, friendly group that welcomes whatever time, energy and charitable donations you can give. We raise funds through community book sales and the Book Nook inside the library.
We do not operate the library, but instead work with library staff to offer programs and events beyond what the Lee County budget can provide.
