Support the Library

You can support Manatee Library in different ways!  By joining one of the Friends of Manatee Library groups listed below, you can support the growth and development of library services and events.  You can also attend book sales and other fundraising events sponsored by the Friends groups and visit the standing book stores that many of the Friends groups have at Manatee Library locations.
