Be a Friend
Who are your friends? They’re people who care about you. People who encourage you. It’s the same way with Library Friends.
The Friends of the Champaign Public Library are people like you who care about their library. They know that having a great library makes Champaign a nicer place to live. The Friends help provide library materials and services beyond what the library’s regular budget can buy.
When you join the Friends (or renew your annual membership), we'll thank you with two free, regular-priced books at the FriendShop. Plus you'll enjoy significant savings at sales for members only. Join today!
