📚💙 It’s not always glamorous, but it matters.

Every day, Friends of the Library volunteers are behind the scenes receiving donations, cleaning and sorting books, stocking shelves, creating displays, transporting materials, preparing for book sales, and tackling countless other tasks that keep our organization running.

Why do they do it?

Because they know their efforts help support some of the most important programs at the Dothan Houston County Library System.

Thanks to our volunteers, donors, shoppers, and members, the Friends donated $78,200 to the library in January 2026—helping fund Summer Reading, e-books, educational programs, community room improvements, and so much more.

We have a constantly changing inventory so there’s something new every day!

We have sections for ALL READERS! Fiction, non-fiction, classics, vintage, children’s or non-book items, we have a little something for everyone .

If you would like to donate any games, books, puzzles, albums, CDs, DVDs, VHS we would love to receive these items!

We evaluate every donation and find each item’s very best location to serve our community, whether that’s the FoL store, the many, mini book sales, recirculating to one of the local libraries, the jail ministry, Little Free Libraries or other advocacy groups in town.

Our proceeds are then returned back to the library so they are able to continue to provide amazing resources for everyone in our community.
