ABOUT THE FRIENDS OF LAKEWOOD RANCH LIBRARY

The mission of the Friends of the LWR Library is to raise awareness and appreciation of our library’s services, programs, and resources as well as funds to fill the gaps left by county dollars. An all-volunteer, non-profit organization, the Friends are committed to champion and sustain the Lakewood Ranch Library with funds that will provide lifelong learning and enrichment opportunities for everyone!

Want to donate books to the Friends' Book Nook?

The Friends currently accept gently used hardcover adult and YA fiction books published within the past five years, as well as children's books and puzzles.  We don't have storage space at the library so please read our procedures here.
