About Us
Welcome to The Friends of the Falls of Schuylkill Library, simply known as Falls Library. We are a volunteer organization of community members promoting the needs and values of the Falls Library and to raising funds and encouraging gifts for its support. Founded in 1987, the Friends has 200 households whose members volunteer their time to not only organizing and supporting its major fund-raising events, but also to as garden maintenance, and preparing for book sales, or baking for neighborhood events and bake sales.
