Friends of the Fargo Public Library

The Friends of the Fargo Public Library is an advocacy group that promotes the library through fundraising, sponsoring events and organizing used book sales. The Friends also host an informal monthly book discussion group, Book Talk, at the Downtown Fargo Public Library.

More than 250 individuals and families were charter members of the Friends organization. The group officially formed in March 1995.
