The Friends of the Mansfield Public Library is an independent group of volunteer library supporters, organized as a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. It provides additional funding for the library through its book store and other fundraisers, and assists the Library Advisory Board by advocating public library service before the community. While they do not take on the legal responsibilities of the Library Board, they have supported the library since 1965, have been integral to construction and furnishing of three public library facilities, and continue to support public library activities. Many Library Advisory Board members are currently, or have been, members of the Friends of the Library organization.
To join the Friends of the Library, pick up a membership form at the Library. The Friends regularly meet at the library. For information on the next meeting, please call the library at 817-728-3690. Meetings are typically held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. There are no meetings in July, August and December for the Friends.

Book Donations
Drop your used books off at the library. Our biggest source of funding comes from used book sales in the atrium of the library, so donating is a fantastic way to help the Friends and the library.
