Who we are

The Friends of the O'Fallon Public Library provide annual support for a number of O'Fallon Public Library programs and initiatives.  As a 501(c)(3), the Friends raise money and volunteer hours to elevate the impact the library has on the community.  A portion of raised funds go directly to buying new materials for the library. Remaining revenue funds other special projects.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

In 2022 the Friends launched a local chapter of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.  We currently have over 375 local children enrolled in the program.  To learn more about this initiative, visit ofpl.info/dolly.
