Our Team

Covering all five branches of the HBPL, volunteers operate the Friends Gift Shop and Used Books Store, coordinate online books sales, marketing, public relations, the quarterly Newsletter, social media posts, develop, conduct and provide dynamic programs and special events.  If you're interested in volunteering, we'd love to have you!

Our History

Friends of the Library (FOTL) was formed in July 1971 as a non-profit organization to help raise funds to purchase items and books not in the library's budget.  Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in this area, we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
