Sponsorships begin at $250 (includes one complimentary seat) and go up to $5,000 (includes eight complimentary seats). As a sponsor, you will receive extensive publicity and be featured on signage at the luncheon and in the library vestibule, and you and your guests bypass first-come first-served ticketing, a key benefit as the luncheon typically sells out.

Your sponsorship will help the FOL fund current and new initiatives at the library! For example, the Friends is the sole supporter of the library's new state-of-the-art 3D printer available for patron use.
