Walter Cronkite
The Friends of Bethlehem Public Library supports cultural and educational programs for the community and assists the library with special projects and purchases not covered by traditional funding.
The Friends of Bethlehem Public Library is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization made up of more than 300 community members who raise $15,000-$20,000 each year to support Library programs. The Friends raise funds through membership dues, donations from the public, Better World Books proceeds, book sales, and other cultural and educational events.
If you would like to support our library, you are welcome to become a member. As a Friend you can be as involved as you would like in planning and staffing events, but you do not need to be a member to volunteer.
