Friends

Friends of Bedale Community Library (FoBCL) was launched in March 2017 with the main aim of raising funds for Bedale Community Library.  Friends make an annual donation of £15 or more. In order to simplify administrative arrangements, the work of the FoBCL charity was incorporated into the responsibilities of the main Bedale Community Library (BCL) charity late in 2024.
