Friends of the Irmo Branch Library

The mission of the Friends of the Irmo Branch Library is to assist the Irmo Branch Library as it works to increase library services, provide easier access to library resources, increase community awareness of library services, and support and develop trained, knowledgeable staff.

The Friends of the Irmo Branch Library was founded in 1989. Since it's inception the organization has been 100% volunteer based. We support the Irmo Branch Library when appropriated funding is unavailable for youth and adult programs. We assist with honorariums for guest speaks, provide employee appreciation perks and cover the costs of small prizes and snacks for events held in the library. Our intent is to keep the free events in the library free by covering all the little things that the library can't purchase. We also support scholarship opportunities for youth volunteers, working in the library.
