Discover Friends of the BCS Public Library

Our Mission

The Friends of the Bryan + College Station Library System, a nonprofit organization founded in 1955 to promote the Public Library, encourages all citizens to use the many and varied services offered by the system.

Friends' programs heighten community awareness of the library's resources. Friends' gifts enrich the library's collections. Friends' development efforts build long-term library support.

Our Programs

We offer a variety of programs for all ages, including book clubs, author talks, and children's story time. We also have a summer reading program for kids and teens to encourage reading during the summer months.

Donate Books

Bring gently used books to Mounce or Ringer Library. If you have several boxes, please call ahead. Thank you for donating!

We will sell your donated books to raise funds that will be used to support library programming and our community.
