Friends of the BCS Public Library funds programs

 FoL funds support programming at the Carnegie History Center, the oldest Carnegie library in Texas that is still operating as a library. It houses an extensive genealogy collection, historical research materials, artifacts, records, and special collections, with a strong focus on local history archives. 

FoL funds online programs such as Pronunciator, a language learning tool.  The popular Summer Reading Programs are made possible with funding from FoL.

FoL helped fund the expansion of the library in 2019.  The popular early reader program "1000 Books before Kindergarten" consists of  100 backpacks - each filled with 10 books.
