The Friends of Fountaindale Public Library is an organization whose primary purpose is to serve as community advocates for Library services, programs, facilities and needs. The group gives monetary support to the library though fund-raising activities. The Friend's fund-raising activities provide the library with equipment, services and other materials which it might not otherwise be able to provide. Recent gifts to the library include:
- Prizes for the Summer Reading Program for children and adults
- Transport chairs for library users that may experience difficulty walking on their own
- Purchase of books for "One Book, One Community"
- A new podium and public address system
- Prizes for the " Battle of the Cards"
- Tables and chairs for the Activity Room at the Romeoville location
The Friends have fundraisers throughout the year. Our most popular event is our bi-annual used book sale. Some of the current fundraisers include book bags: $6 for members - $7 for non-members. Gel bracelets are all of the rage right now. To promote reading the Friends are selling them for $1.00. Please consider joining the Friends of the Library or supporting their fund raising efforts.

Another revenue source for the Friends comes from Annual dues and donations from members of the group. Dues for individuals are only $5.00 per year, $8.00 for a family membership, $3.00 Senior membership (Age 60 and older), $35.00 for businesses and LIFETIME membership is the best bargain for a one time fee of $100. If you LOVE the library, or just like it a lot, consider a membership in Friends.
