Be a friend
Your friendship is vital to the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. With support from Friends of the Library, the Library has been able to help children learn to read, support teachers and students, provide technology access and education, and allow people to expand their horizons. Now, there is also a renewed call to action to help our community find their “place” as we think about reducing isolation, connecting teens beyond social media, and reducing divisiveness by bringing people together. With 20 locations plus Mobile Services, the Library is uniquely positioned to bring people together so we can all find our place, together.
