The Sandy Springs Library receives strong community support through the efforts of the Friends of the Sandy Springs Library, or FOSSL. Their semi-annual book sales raise an average of $20,000 each year, dollars that are used to provide special materials and services for all library users. They also offer memberships. Annual dues are $10.00 per household. Student membership, up to age 19, is available for $5.00 per year.
