Who We Are
Join us in enhancing the Round Rock Public Library experience!
We are an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that supports the city-funded library but is not part of the government. We have an independent board of directors, with the library director serving as an ex officio member.
The Friends of the Library celebrated its 30th Anniversary in March 2010. In addition to funding from book sales and memberships, the Friends of the Library also administers a library-specific fund financially managed by the Round Rock Community Foundation.

Sample Projects

Significant projects funded by the Friends of the Library include the children’s service desk, a range of tall audio-visual shelving, and co-funding of the children’s computer station.
What is less visible is the funding for books and programming such as the Round Rock Reads Galveston Hurricane Exhibit and assistance with Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.
