Home / About / Patrons of the Public Library
Formed in 1984, the Patrons of the Public Library (POPL) is a non-profit organization that financially supports the work of the East Baton Rouge Parish Library (EBRPL) and is comprised of citizens from the community who value educational, informational, cultural, and recreational institutions.
The Patrons volunteer their time to support programs like the annual Author/Illustrator Workshop and the Summer Reading Club, raise funds by holding monthly gift book sales, and offer financial assistance for events by purchasing materials not provided in the Library budget.
Today, more than ever before, the Library needs your support! Patrons work to assure proper funding and advocacy for public libraries at the local, state, and national levels. Through the efforts of the POPL, the East Baton Rouge Parish Library can continue to provide unique and essential services, events, and programs for our community.
Call or visit your local library to find out more about how you can make a difference!
