Friends of the Library

Friends Of the Library

The Friends of the Library (FOL) was founded in 1971 by a group of interested citizens who pledged to provide support and resources to Everett Library. FOL is a vibrant organization dedicated to providing social and literary events to the Queens campus and the Charlotte community through book and author events, social and cultural gatherings, book clubs and fundraising.
