The Friends rely on volunteers for help with two or more outside book sales each year. We also sponsor an ongoing used-book sale at the Friends Corner inside the Library. The Friends support Bellaire Library projects that encourage reading and life long learning, and to increase the use of the Bellaire Library through public awareness.
