Welcome to the Friends Blog


Welcome to the new blog site for the Friends of the Carol Stream Public Library. In the weeks and months ahead, we plan to use this site to publicize the many new events and projects that we have planned, and we will also use this space to invite new members to join the group and help us in our efforts to support library programs.

Who Are the Friends?
The Friends of the Carol Stream Public Library is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the many library programs that help to make our community a great place to live. Members are volunteers who work with the library to plan special programs and fundraising events.

What Time Commitment is Required?

In general, the time commitment for members varies each year depending on the scope of the projects and events. The Friends hold one annual meeting each year and additional meetings as needed to plan special programs or to discuss new fundraisers. Members are invited to devote as much or as little time as they are able or willing to do.

What are the Benefits of Becoming a Friend?
When you become a Friend, you join a dedicated group of people who value the services and resources that the Carol Stream Public Library provides for the community and who want to help support special programs and unique events that might not otherwise be possible. At the same time, you join a network of enthusiastic readers--people who share your passion for reading and learning.
