Friends of the Edgewater Library often partners with businesses, governmental and community organizations, and other non-profits to provide resources, programming, and other benefits to its members, library card holders, schools, and others within the community who use the library as a resource.

Through these collaborative efforts, Friends expands its reach within our neighborhood and adjacent communities, acting as a hub for community engagement.
