Friends of LCL

The Friends of the Lansing Community Library, as a separate 501c3 non-profit organization, raises funds for the LCL. The group is comprised of volunteers who act independently of, but in conjunction with, the library’s Trustees and library manager, to preserve, promote, and strengthen library services. Working as ambassadors for the library, the Friends protect and encourage sources of funding, and often partner with other organizations to enhance the role of the library in the community.

In addition to contributing a set amount of funds each year to the LCL budget to support summer reading and offset technology replacement costs, the Friends also fully fund improvements to and upkeep of the LCL gardens. The group also absorbs the majority of costs associated with the many varied programs offered at the LCL throughout the year. The financial and volunteer contributions made by the Friends are critical to the success of the LCL.
