The purpose of our volunteer organization is to maintain an association of persons interested in the Ocean City Free Public Library. The Friends and Volunteers help focus public attention on the library; we champion the library's facilities and services and encourage financial support of the library's projects.

General membership meetings are held at 10:00 A.M. on the second Monday of each month in the Library's Headley Room. New members and visitors are always welcome.

The highlight of the year for the Friends and Volunteers and the community is the annual Autumn Author's Luncheon, held at the Historic Flanders Hotel in October. Our yearly used book sales help provide funds for the Friends and Volunteers' support for Read Across America, the Third Grade Reading Club, and activities centering around the First Day of Kindergarten.

Please view the Friends and Volunteers bulletin board located in the Atrium of the Community Center.
