Homosassa Friends Donate $10,000

A huge thank you to the Friends of the Homosassa Public Library! Their group recently donated $10,000 to the Homosassa Public Library for collection development. This means more materials for our library patrons to check out!

The Homosassa Friends group raises money yearly through book sales, membership dues, and candy sales. The Friends work hard all year to make sure that the Homosassa Public Library and the Citrus County Library System are strong, vital educational centers in the community.

Thank you, Friends!
