Friends of the Port Orange Library


In simplest terms, the Friends of the Port Orange Regional Library, a branch of the Volusia County Library System, support our public library and its services. The Friends group does this in many ways: by volunteering to supplement the regular staff, by publicizing our library's programs, and by hosting programs that might be of interest to the community. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, the Friends provide financial support for materials, equipment, and programs that are beyond the library's budget.
