​The Friends have faithfully served the community of Watkinsville for nearly 50 years.  We boost awareness of our fabulous library and its abundant offerings.  We raise funds through book sales and memberships, and host many exciting events throughout the year.    Two measures of our success are that we fund over 65% of new library acquisitions and over 10,000 people participated in Library programs from 2022-2023. 

The Oconee County Library Friends is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
