Strengthening our community through inspiration, enrichment, and education.
Friends of East Lake Community Library
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 eastlakefriends@gmail.com

2026 Concert Series
Mark your calendars for an unforgettable musical experience!
Join us on the fourth Sunday of each month, from January through April, for our 2026 Concert Series. Each performance begins at 2:00 PM and features an hour of exceptional live music in an intimate setting. After the concert, enjoy a complimentary wine and cheese reception, where you can mingle with fellow music lovers and meet the performers. Click on 'more information' to see the lineup and learn more about the performers.
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.

Join the Friends of East Lake Community Library as a Community Partner and make a lasting impact where it matters most—right here at home.
For just $100 a year, your promotional materials will be prominently displayed in the library, included in welcome packets for every new library cardholder, and featured on the library’s website. Your business will also be periodically highlighted in the library's quarterly newsletter, reaching thousands of engaged readers. It’s a powerful way to gain visibility, build goodwill, and show your support for literacy, learning, and local connection—all while making a meaningful difference.
