We Have Friends!

A new group has been organized here at the library...the Friends of the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library System.
So, who are they?

  • They are a fast growing organization consisting entirely of volunteer advocates who believe passionately in the need for a strong library system to benefit the community.
What do they do?

  • They focus attention on library services and needs;
  • volunteer assistance with programs, special events, or in-library services;
  • promote the use of library resources and programs throughout the community;
  • and raise funds for special projects, equipment, and materials in excess of the general library budget.
Should you decide to join the Friends, you'll receive a card good for the calendar year verifying your membership. With your card you'll be entitled to benefits such as:

  • discounts on library specialty items, i.e., book bags, T-shirts, bookmarks, etc.;
  • early admission to special events;
  • invitations to library receptions;
  • forgiveness of two overdue book fines per membership year;
  • receive advance notice of special additions to library materials, i.e., Get Outdoors Georgia (family pass for free admission to any historic site operated by GA State Parks, Recreation & Historic Sites);
  • and more!

There are different categories of memberships to fit your lifestyle, i.e., child/student, adult, senior/military, family, etc.

You're invited to join our corps of dedicated volunteers! For more information, pick up one of the Friends brochures at the library, email us at friends@mccls.org, or call us at 985-6540.
