Ongoing/Annual projects --
Friends for the Annual Plant and Book Festival
Always in time to refresh your spring garden!
We are sorry to have had to cancel our popular Plant and Book Festival AGAIN IN 2021 due to COVID-19. It has left a huge gap in how we can support our Library. Please see our COVID-19 pages to see how you can still provide much needed continued support.
We remain hopeful that the Festival will resume in March 2022!
Please contact The Friends if you are plant-loving, plant-knowledgeable and would like to help with a 2022 Festival!
friends for our lobby books (AKA Second Chance Books)
LobbyBooks are a bargain!
Lobby Books --Now available again!
Lobby Books is a wonderful way to add to your home library--with NO DUE DATE! Books are selected by a team of dedicated book-loving volunteers from books donated from individuals' home libraries.
Some book donations are saved for the Plant and Book Festival, but many others are available for a very small monetary donation (noted on the inside cover of each book). The donations received from the Lobby Books are an important source of funds toward our support of the Library.
Please note: The Library is still NOT able to accept donations of books at this time, but there are plenty of books available now for your reading pleasure. We hope the program will be able to be fully functional soon!

friends for the buy-a-book program
A book or two...or a whole shelf's worth!
The Buy-A-Book Program provides funds to the Library for our librarians to select books they know will be valuable to our collection. This is not a direct-purchase program.
Every year in December, The Friends of the Spring Branch-Memorial Library ask for donations to add to our own Library's collection. There are several levels of giving suggested which range from the cost to the Library of a book or two to the cost of an entire shelf of books. The Library is funded by County funds, but our contributions make a big difference to what our own Library can offer. When December comes around, keep the Library in your "giving" plan through the Friends' Buy-A-Book program. (Scroll up after clicking on the link.)
To contribute in memory of a friend or a relative, or in honor of a friend, a relative or an event DURING THE REST OF THE YEAR, please go to the Gifting... Honoring and Remembering Others page. (Scroll up after clicking on the link, if necessary.) You do not need to join as a Friend to make a commemorative contribution.
