Farmington Friends of the Library Projects



Moving Your Library Forward

The Farmington Friends of the Library are helping shape the future of learning and living in our community, because our goals make new features a reality at both the Farmington and Farmington Hills Branches.

We embrace the challenge of the future by helping implement new technologies and programs that go beyond the library's day-to-day activities - programs that may not currently be supported by State or community funds. The Friends have been instrumental in initiating services that our visitors now take for granted—Internet access from the library, a circulating collection of DVDs, CDs, and Mp3s, and digitization with online access via our Website of the Farmington Observer among them.
