The Friends of the Bellaire Library was established in 1951 by the Bellaire Women’s Civic Club as a not-for-profit organization, devoted to the establishment, support, and enhancement of the Bellaire City Library. In addition to annual dues from members, the Friends primarily raise funds by holding used book sales during the year. Please join us for semi-annual outdoor book sales, the ongoing indoor sale, and special events.
The City of Bellaire is fortunate to be able to to support our quality of life with comprehensive library services. Our Library provides materials, programs, and reference service through available technology that meets the recreational, research, and informational needs of Library patrons of all ages. New members, charitable donations, and volunteers are always welcome!
Our donations to the Bellaire Library help fund:
- Summer reading support through funding of reading incentives, programs, and this year’s registration software
- Sets of reference material like World Book Encyclopedia
- Funds for support of digital e-books (Hoopla)
- Purchasing books for adult and teen book clubs
