The Friends of the Spruce Grove Public Library is a non-profit organization that encourages public use and enjoyment of library services and facilities. Friends are community members who believe that a good library is essential to the cultural, recreational and economic well being of our community.
Exciting things happen when Friends work together. The members of Friends focus public attention on library needs and work to support the programs and services of the Spruce Grove Public Library through fundraising, promotion and volunteering of personal and professional services.
