Friends of the Central Ridge Library
The Friends of the Library are non-profit organizations dedicated to enhancing public library service for the citizens of Citrus County. Friends are people who love books, love to read, and want to help others enjoy the pleasure of reading. Friends raise money to support the library through memberships, used-book sales, promotional item sales, special events, and donations.
Meetings & Membership
Membership is open to any individual interested in promoting personal growth through the use of the library’s resources.
The Board of Directors meets on the second Thursday each month except June, July and August. A nominating committee is appointed at the September meeting, and elections and installation are held at the January General Meeting.
