Membership
We have no employees. Sumter County provides our space for our bookrooms, and all our materials are donated from Sumter County Libraries or the public. Our Overstock Sales fund offsite storage of excess donated Materials.
Your Membership helps return almost every penny from our bookrooms back to our community - Over $850,000 since 2003!!
The Friends of The Villages Library is an All Volunteer IRS approved 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization, so a portion of your Membership or other Charitable Donation may be tax deductible. Please verify with your tax professional.

FOVL Bookroom Volunteers
Only FOVL Members can become Bookroom Volunteers who may work one or two, 3-hour shifts per month. After a training session, you work in a Book Room where you assist customers, answer questions, accept donations of used books, and sell books/magazines/DVD's/CD's within the Bookrooms. As time permits, you may shelve, straighten & alphabetize books by Author.
Other Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers can pick-up book donations from the public either at people's homes or at the Book Rooms themselves as many customers bring their donations directly to us.
Volunteers deliver donations to our storage and inventory area, help inventory donations, load the truck to bring items to our regular public sales, etc.
Volunteers can staff tables at various public events and talk to the public about what we do.
