They have a conviction that good library service is important to everyone. Did you know Friends of the Library are one of the oldest organizations in the United States? Library Company of Philadelphia was founded by Ben Franklin in 1731.

Locally, Friends of the Coleman Public Library organized in the early 1970's and worked specifically to get enough books on the shelves of the library to qualify for membership in the state library system. Additionally the Friends help sponsor the Summer Reading Program, promote the growth and development of the library's resources. And promote public appreciation of the library as an important cultural center for our city.
