Special Collection/3rd Floor

The Friends of the Lawrence Public Library are a nonprofit, volunteer organization consisting of a group of people who support our library. This support makes it possible for the library to improve their public service programs for adult and children, as well as museum passes, computers, and furniture for the Library. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in improving the growth of our library.
