Please Donate to Friends via Midlands Gives
on Tuesday, May 5
Please support the Friends of the Irmo Branch Library as we participate in Midlands Gives Day 2026 this coming Tuesday, May 5. The minimum donation is just $10.
Money donated through Midlands Gives, an initiative of the Central Carolina Community Foundation, helps the Friends support, promote and fund the Irmo Branch Library.
Again, this year, we are targeting the 7-7:59 a.m. Power Hour for our gifts. If we have the most unique donors during that hour, the Friends will receive an additional $2,000. The Friends have won this Power Hour the last two years and we hope to keep our streak going. Please note, scheduled donations will NOT count towards the power hour competition!. And please start early to change your password.

2020
When you can’t perform live theater, you improvise! The Friends of the Irmo Branch Library presented a virtual mystery play, “Death’s Shadow” on Sept. 25 and 26, 2020 via Zoom. The audience was given the chance to help solve the murder case and vote on the perpetrator. Fun was had and funds were raised to help the library.
