The Friends of the Public Libraries of Cullman County is a non-profit group of citizens who believe that a good library is essential to the cultural, educational, and economic well-being of Cullman County. This is a group that helps raise funds for important programs and services offered at the library. 

Members of The Friends serve in various roles to help support the library.  Fundraising, coordinating events, gathering volunteers, performing outreach, and generally advocating for the success of the library are crucial functions of The Friends. 

Some yearly events sponsored by The Friends are the annual Storybook Sprint 5k, a murder mystery dinner theatre, and a pumpkin painting contest.
