According to its website, the Friends is a non-profit, all volunteer organization whose mission is to advocate for and raise funds to support the Delaware County District Library programs & services.

‘The organization promotes the library at local community and business gatherings and organizes events like author visits for adults and children as well as writers workshops to foster literacy. Additionally, they back the library’s Makers Studios. Established in 2007, the Friends of the Delaware County District Library is a non-profit entity dedicated to supporting the mission, services, and needs of the Delaware County District Library (DCDL). Their goal is to bring public attention to DCDL and its numerous contributions to the Delaware County community.

To raise funds, the Friends engage in volunteer service by organizing book sales, author visits, and children’s events, along with collecting membership fees and donations. DCDL grants aid in sustaining the Summer Reading Club and various other library initiatives.
