WELCOME
Welcome to the Friends of the Lincoln Public Library Web Site

The Friends support library programs at the Twelve Bridges Library and the Carnegie Library.

Without the membership and support from the community the Friends would be unable to present programs for children and adults.

With the new space available, the library and the Friends have added interesting programs for children and adults. When called upon by staff the Friends support financially and with volunteer hours.
