Friends of Northlake-Barbara Loar Library

The Friends of Northlake-Barbara Loar Library was formed to support and advocate for our local library.

The purpose of this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is to provide financial assistance to the Northlake library for expanded programs and materials. Monies contributed by FONL support reading and learning programs for children, teens, and adults. FONL raises funds through direct donations, the sale of donated books in our Friends Niche book sales (located in the library), and through periodic book sales.
