Join the Friends
If you enjoy meeting people who love to read, have some free time to volunteer, appreciate the privileges of excellent library services and the importance of maintaining those services, and would like to make a difference in your community, join the South Montgomery County Friends of the Library! (It's also a great way to meet new people who share a common interest!).
In order to adequately meet the needs of both the South Regional Library and the George and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Library and to ensure the continued excellence of the library services provided by those libraries, the Friends need the help and support of the entire community. Joining the South Montgomery County Friends of the Library is the way to lend that support.
