Library Lovers Month is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County (FOLMC) and the Montgomery County Library Board, a government-appointed advisory board. The two groups work together to ensure adequate funding and resources for Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL). FOLMC also encourages gifts from the public for the enhancement of basic library services.

Friends of the Library Chapters and Library Advisory Committees, subcommittees of the Library Board, will sponsor celebratory programs and activities at branches of MCPL throughout the month for children and adults.
