Friends of the Albert L. Scott Library
Be a Friend!
The Friends is a group of dedicated booklovers that wants
everyone to know the benefits the library offers, and how
members can increase its effectiveness. We have semi-annual
book sales to raise funds for special books and activities for
all ages. We also maintain several areas at the library where
books can be purchased at bargain prices. These are books
that have been donated, so here’s an option for those books
you no longer want in your private library. For as little as $10
a year you can be a Friend and support the library. There are
several levels of membership, and always opportunities for a
few hours of volunteering. Be a Friend! Application forms are
available at the Library or at www.cityofalabaster.com
