EAST LAKE COMMUNITY LIBRARY
Strengthening our community through inspiration, enrichment, and education.
Friends of East Lake Community Library is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization that raises funds to promote and enhance the library's services and facilities while also fostering closer relationships between the library and its community. Monies raised help to support materials and services not covered by library tax funds. All are welcome at Friends meetings, which are held at 10 am on the second Thursday of every month. Minutes of the meetings are available at the library on request. If you have any questions, please email friendsofelcl@gmail.com

Building Community
2026
Concert Series
Be sure and watch for the announcement of the performers for the Friends of ELCL 2026 Concert Series coming in the next edition of this newsletter.
Also, be thinking about the friends, relatives, neighbors, teachers, hairdressers and other service providers who would be thrilled to receive Concert Series tickets as a holiday gift.
The Friends will once again be offering a ticket special during the month of December where patrons can purchase four concert tickets, which are normally prices at $15 each, for $50, a savings of $10. If seats are available, tickets may be exchanged for another date if desired.
Five Little Free Libraries
FOELCL donations support 5 Little Free Libraries which are facilitated with community partners. They are located
at the Fire Station, Brooker Creek Preserve, the YMCA and in two Lansbrook parks.
