Since 1998, the Friends of the Kirk-Bear Canyon Library has been an enthusiastic supporter, providing funds beyond the capabilities of the library’s budget. This longtime partnership has resulted in additional programs and purchases that enable the library to offer those “extras” that make the difference.

Chances are, if you or your family have attended a children’s program, viewed a film, seen a well-known author, learned a new skill, or enjoyed a performance by a musical group at the library, the Friends were involved. People of all ages, backgrounds, and tastes can find programs of interest to them, thanks in large part to contributions by FKBCL.

Additionally, we help fund items and improvements beyond the library’s normal budget. Examples include the display cases at the branch’s entrance, the mounting system on the library’s gallery wall, and the mural that graces the east-side exterior walls.
