Friends Membership
OLC membership is open to any Friends group supporting an Ohio public, academic, business, or special library or branch. For membership purposes, branch libraries are considered individual organizations and, therefore, their Friends groups must remit separate dues. All members of that Friends group are eligible for member benefits, including registration for OLC conferences at member rates. OLC communications are sent to one individual as designated by the Friends group.
Annual Friends membership is $25 for the calendar year.
Prospective members can join now by completing the Friends Membership Application.
