Support your library! Bring your book donations to any library location.

The Friends of the Greenville County Library is a non-profit organization that raises funds to enhance library programs and services and purchase materials. This year the Friends have committed nearly $80,000 in financial support to the library. Money is raised through semi-annual used book sales, grants, membership dues and the Friends Gift Shop, which operates year-round at the Hughes Main Library. Join the Friends of the Library for another great year!
