About Us:

Ventura Friends of the Library is an all-volunteer organization.  We support the public libraries of the City of Ventura by raising funds through the sale of donated books.  These funds are used for the purchase of library books,  materials and equipment and to support the Summer Reading programs, The Teen Activity Group and other programs for children, teens and adults.
