Since October 2018…
Since we founded the Friends of the Fort Lee Library, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, in October of 2018 our members have done great things. We have focused all our efforts on making the Friends a viable organization and support the Fort Lee Public Library both financially through donations and with our time and volunteer work!
