Friends of

Buckingham Library

We believe the library is a very important community facility for Buckingham

About Us

The Friends of Buckingham Library is an independent charity established in 2016 to support Buckingham Library.

We believe that the library is a vital community facility for Buckingham. In addition to having a wide and varied choice of books and films to borrow, it is a community hub and a source of information and culture. Your Friends membership fee will go towards buying new books, improving library facilities and generally helping to ensure our library remains a great place to visit.
