"A library outranks any other one thing a community can do for its people." -Andrew Carnegie

The Friends of the Library is a 501c3 non-profit organization and provides funds to the Beaumont Library District for programming and materials. Keep up with the Friends of the Library on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter by clicking the buttons below!

 We have new drop boxes as approved by the Library Board and the Friends Board.  They are from a company called Discover Books.

One is for receiving donations and has been placed behind the dumpster.  It is a place where residents can deposit their donations at any time of day or night--instead of dumping them at various spots around the library building! This bin will be emptied on a regular basis by the Friends.

Friends of the Beaumont Library recently received a $2,500 check to "support our kids and community" from the Beaumont Teachers Association.
