The Friends of the Library of Hernando County, FL, Inc. are dedicated to advocacy and fund-raising for the library. Their used bookstore, operated by volunteers, combined with membership fees and community gifts enable them to provide major monetary contributions for library services and special programs.

Money raised by the Friends helps offset the costs of programs, classes, and other special events and services benefiting the community and library staff.  

Recently sponsored public programs include:

  • Special Performers for Children’s Summer Reading Program
  • Florida Library Youth Program
  • Special library events, such as the Live Jazz Program and Movie Programs
  • Partnership funding for Branch Programs
  • Outreach events

Friends of the Library Sponsored Events

Didgeridoo Down Under

The Didgeridoo Down Under Show is an energetic fusion of Australian music, culture, puppetry, comedy, character building, storytelling and audience movement / participation. The didgeridoo has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1,500 years, and is known for its otherworldly sound. But DDU is much more than music. It’s interactive, educational, motivational and super fun.

Hernando Jazz Society

Concert @ Your Library

We celebrate International Jazz Day by hosting a FREE concert in our backyard. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and dancing feet while the Hernando Jazz Society delights with an array of jazzy tunes for your listening and toe-tapping pleasure.

Mad Science

 

Get children excited by science and instill a love of learning in them that will last a lifetime. Mad Science aims to spark imaginative learning through a hands-on, interactive, and inquiry-based approach to science. Friends of the Library sponsored a mad scientist to come to the library so the community can enjoy an educational and entertaining science show fun for the whole family.

Staff Development Day

 

Staff development refers to all the policies, practices, and procedures used to develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies of staff to improve the effectiveness and efficiency both of the individual and the library system as a whole.

Making us better so we can serve you better.
