Friends of Eckhart Public Library, Inc.
Community Support for Community Services
The Friends of Eckhart Public Library is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and their fundraising efforts fund 100% of the library's programming. Our library supports us, and we support our library!
The library depends on us to fund their programming, and with these funds they offer hundreds of opportunities to our community. Did you know that every prize book given to the children and teens in our community was purchased with money raised by the Friends? Every Friends membership sold, shirt ordered, and meal purchased funds the library's programming! If you want to help the library, consider becoming a Friend or supporting one of the fundraising options on this site!
Show your support!
If you're like us, you love Eckhart Public Library. If you want to show your library pride, library shirts and hats are available on our Bonfire Store. Every purchase donates funds to the Friends of Eckhart Public Library so that we can support the library's programming and services.
