WHO WE ARE
Friends of the Maricopa Library (FOTL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of our Library. We represent all members of our community and welcome everyone to join our group. FOTL helps to support the Library by raising funds, which support literacy programs, book purchases, and other important activities. We volunteer our time and talents at the Library, and throughout the community.
The mission of the FOTL is to develop resources for library services and programs, encourage enjoyment of reading, and to establish lifetime learning and community involvement.
