The story of the Fernandina Beach Library began May 7, 1985 and 30 years later the Friends of Nassau County Library, Inc. was chartered under Florida Statutes. At the time, the Fernandina Beach Library was the only library in the area. That is why our chartered name, Friends of Nassau County Library, Inc., is somewhat different than what we go by today, Friends of the Fernandina Beach Library.

Mission

Friends of the Fernandina Beach Library is an all-volunteer organization whose mission is to promote literacy and lifelong learning in our community through programs, advocacy and fundraising for the Fernandina Beach Library.

Activities that help us accomplish our mission include the used Book Sale held each spring and fall. We regularly host guest speakers, provide educational programs, arrange outings to nearby places of interest, and other events.
