In a world where knowledge is power, the Friends of the Ocala Public Library stand as champions for our community's access to information and resources.

As we prepare for the upcoming "Friends of the Ocala Library Read-a-Thon 2025" on August 2, 2025, we are reminded of the vital role that libraries play in enriching lives. Our Friends group is dedicated to providing supplemental funding that allows our library to expand its services and programs beyond what traditional funding can offer.

However, this mission cannot be accomplished alone. We need your support to reach our target of $1,500. Every dollar raised will directly enhance library resources and activities, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the tools they need to succeed.

Join us in this inspiring journey by participating in the Read-a-Thon or making a donation today. Together, we can create a brighter future for all through the power of reading and learning.
