In addition to supporting the libraries' educational endeavors, you can enjoy a range of library programs and events. Friends can attend:

  • The FURL annual meeting and dinner. Share a gourmet meal with companions who share your passion for Rochester’s libraries. Plus, there’s usually a fascinating guest speaker! 
     
  • The holiday reading. In early December, Friends gather to listen to selected readings and very talented musicians with great snacks. 
     
  • The Neilly Author Series and all other University lectures open to the public, featuring a wide range of fascinating topics, such as the space race, mambo, modern mourning, Mt. Everest, or AIDS. 
     
  • Periodic programs, such as receptions at library exhibitions and tours.
     
  • Library Borrowing Privileges: Your generous membership donation to FURL now entitles you to library borrowing privileges from all the River Campus Libraries and the Sibley, Miner, and MAG libraries
