The Friends of the Library group helps by providing funds that are used for programs, materials, and other projects, such as our Reading Garden.  Group members cover many of the volunteer opportunities that are required for our programs. 

Members consist of residents from the city of Augusta and throughout the Augusta Area School District.  Duties of the board include determining the policies and services of the Library, approving the annual budget and all expenditures, and representing the Library to the community.

Our staff is dedicated to providing the best possible service to our community.  They create and execute programming for all ages, recommend books and other materials, help with reference and are available to offer support through all services the library provides.  The library would not run without them.

The Library was established in 1911, at the urging of Miss Maud LeRoy to the Tuesday Club, which was in favor of the opening.  Along with a brief history of the library, other key pieces of city history and the cemetery walk brochures can be found on the History page.
