Why do we support the library?
"A MINDSET OF PUBLIC SERVICE." Roosevelt Weeks, Director, FBCL
We support the library because it provides programs and services that enrich and empower our community.

FUNDRAISING
Public libraries are one of the last places where people can enter, gain knowledge, have fun, explore new ideas, bring their children, and get a respite from a busy world without paying a fee or purchasing anything. FOLMB advocates for the library to ensure it remains open and ready to address the needs of the patrons today and in the future.

FUNDRAISING
We organize and conduct events such as Spirit Day and book sales, and seek out grants to raise funds for the library. Those funds are used to supplement the funding received from Fort Bend County.
