Friends of the Library

Friends of the Pekin Public Library meet quarterly and focus public attention on the library, stimulate the use of the library’s resources and services and encourage gifts, endowments and bequests to the library. Membership applications are available at the Library’s circulation desk. Membership dues are as low as $1 for an individual and $10 for a family.
