Advocates, Volunteers, and Champions of Community Enrichment
The Friends of Ferguson Library, a volunteer nonprofit founded in 1979, advocate for the library and support its programs and collections through memberships, donations and their award-winning book shops. Their funding helps make summer reading, book discussions, film programs and cultural events possible. They also sponsor special events including the Author Series, the annual Literary Competition and the Mini-Golf family event, and provide every newborn at Stamford Hospital with a free Book for Babies.

Ferguson Friends Against Racism
In June 2020, the Friends board signed on to join the “Call to Action” issued by the group Stamford Stands Against Racism (SSAR). The Friends formed a board-level committee to assist in dismantling systemic racism in our community -- Ferguson Friends Against Racism (FFAR). This commitment means that Friends’ programs align with the Ferguson Library’s goals to impact the diverse community that we serve, including the most vulnerable and marginalized. The Friends are committed to taking action to ensure we are an anti -racist, diverse, inclusive and equitable organization; and that our by-laws, policies and practices reflect this.
