The Friends of Bethesda Public Library was organized in 2004 to promote and support the Bethesda branch. This group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 4 p.m.
The Friends have sponsored Craft and Flea Markets, a poinsettia sale, and book sales to raise funds for children's performers, special programs, and library materials. New members are always welcome! The library's Gifts and Donations page explains the types of items the Friends may accept as gifts.
