Antioch Library Friends

Antioch Library Friends The Friends Used Book Store and proceeds from other fundraising efforts support Library programs.

The Antioch Library Friends, staffed and run by Volunteers, fund many Library programs and projects from proceeds of our used book store, our yearly book sale and our monthly silent auctions. Some of the past funding has been used for the Summer Adult and Children's reading programs, new computer equipment, a portable sound system, the DVD screen behind the circulation desk, the information trigon

in the lobby, Kindles and various musical programs presented at the Library. We could not do this without the generous support of our members and community partners!
