The Friends are a group of volunteers who love the Library but are separate from the Library Board of Trustees. You do not need to live in Homer to be a Friend. If you would like more information, or are interested in becoming a Friend, pick up a membership form in the Library, like them on Facebook, or email libraryfriends00@gmail.com
Friends of the Homer Community Library is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation whose purpose is to create interest in the Homer Community Library, to provide volunteers and support for special projects of the library, to promote literacy, to function as an advocate group for the library, and to work to ensure adequate funds for the library through gifts, fundraising, and promotion.
The Friends group was formed in 2018 and is open to all individuals or groups interested in holding a common goal of stimulating good library service and support of the community.
Mark your calendars... We once again have a Tea Party on the calendar! Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 2pm we will host our event at the Community Building in Homer.
Our guest speaker is Joni Smith from Hume, IL. She will give a cooking demonstration while speaking about the history of Tea Parties, and traditional tea party foods.
Please register at the Library, with payment of $10 per person, or $50 for a table of 6 by June 5th, by calling the Library at (217) 896-2121. We hope to see you there!
