The Friends of Jefferson Library is a volunteer-powered organization dedicated to supporting Jefferson Parish libraries through fundraising, advocacy, and community engagement. Whether you can give a few hours a year or want to get more deeply involved, there’s a place for you here.
Volunteer opportunities vary based on Friends membership status, so you can choose the level of involvement that works best for you.
