The Forsyth County Public Library Friends & Advocates, formerly known as the Forsyth County Friends of the Library, is an organization that supports the programs, resources and staff of the Forsyth County Public Library.

The Library can never have too many Friends. The Friends & Advocates welcome the application of new members and renewals from current members. The cost of a yearly individual membership is $15.00; a family membership is $20.00. Other membership categories are available for seniors and businesses. Membership entitles the holder to gain advance entry to book sales sponsored by the Friends & Advocates. Funds generated by the Friends & Advocates sponsor library programs and resources.

The Forsyth County Public Library Friends & Advocates organization is registered with the State of Georgia and FOLUSA – Friends of the Library USA. Two general membership meetings are held each year. Meeting minutes and organization bylaws are on public display in the Library.

The Friends & Advocates maintain a separate website at the following address: http://forsythfol.org/. There, patrons may become a Friends & Advocates member, sign up to be a Friends volunteer, make a donation, "Like" their Facebook page, or request that the Friends pick up a donation of books to the Library.
