Worthington Libraries is one of the best libraries in the country with a nationally recognized Five-Star library rating. The Friends Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the ties between our library and community and to advancing the library’s mission as a center for lifelong learning, information, culture and engagement. The Friends supports the library through programming support, fundraisin
g and advocacy. The Friends is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with its own volunteer board of directors. We have been serving the interests of the Worthington Libraries and its patrons since 1972. If you want to show your support and appreciation for our libraries, become involved in the Friends — as a member, volunteer, donor or cheerleader. Some of our supporters are involved in all these roles, but choose the ones that are the best fit for you.
