The Friends of Wollongong City Libraries
The Friends of Wollongong City Libraries are an independent group who support and promote our libraries.
They work to encourage an interest in books, build links between the library and the community and provide practical support such as fundraising for library equipment, facilities and staff training.
They often do this by running events such as author talks and literary luncheons. Tickets to these events can be purchased by anyone, however Friends of the Library members receive a discount!
