FJLP is a great place to volunteer but it seems that we don't have very many people that post things. We invite the people of Jacksonville Florida to join us. We play with books! We have fun, we do good deeds, we make money for the library. We care about the library and we want to help them to stay open and to be open even more than today. Why are most of the libraries in Jacksonville closed on Monday? Why aren't they open 7 days a week?
$$$$$$
What can YOU do?
Come to any Friends event.
Buy books at the FJPL store at the University Park library.
Call your city council person.
Go to the library in person or by media and check out a book. Post likes on Facebook.
Join one of the many Friends groups throughout Jacksonville. Read. Pass on the love of reading.
Give some of your hard earned dollars towards the effort to make Jacksonville Florida a good place to live.

The board of directors of FJPL has announced that we will have a booksale event March 6, 7 and 8, 2015 at our warehouse in the University Park Library. This will be a different kind of sale than in the past and hopefully a successful fund raiser for JPL. Keep tuned for more details.
