About
Who we are
Established in 1972, the Friends Foundation of Worthington Libraries is the oldest library support group in Franklin County, Ohio. Governed by an independent board of directors that serves hundreds of members, the Friends Foundation provides financial support and advocacy to increase use and awareness of our award-winning library system.
What we do
Through memberships, book sales and fundraising events, we raise money to support library programs and special projects that benefit the Worthington community.
On average, the Friends Foundation grants more than $60,000 to Worthington Libraries each year. We also work with library leadership to advocate for strong public funding at the local and state level.
