Friends of the Carrollton Library A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting BRL's Carrollton Branch and its patrons. Based in Carrollton, Virginia.

Friends groups can make the difference between a budget increase and a budget cut for their libraries. As much money as Friends raise through book sales and other activities, a 1% increase in your library’s budget can add up to tens of thousands of dollars or more depending on the size of your library’s budget. Not only that, but many libraries across the country owe their new additions or new buildings to an effective advocacy campaign waged by the Friends to ensure community support. You can make a long lasting and significant difference for your library through advocacy.

There's still space available for our Chapter Chat Teen Book Club on Monday, October 26th from 4:30-5:15pm!
Each month, we will read a book and talk about it while eating snacks. We'll also play a game or make a craft inspired by the book we've read. For teens aged 12+, with all books being appropriate for Middle-Schoolers. Registration is required. The first seven teens registered receive their own copy of that month’s book to keep.
Stop by the branch or call the front desk to reserve your spot!
