The funds raised are used only for library needs beyond the budget provided by the City of Chattanooga. Through the Friends' continuing volunteer efforts and financial support, the library has been able to offer summer programs for children, teens, and adults as seen below .

The annual meeting was held at the downtown library 4th floor November 21, 2014 and it was followed by a buffet lunch with keynote speaker, Mrs. Corinne Hill, Executive Director of the Chattanooga Public Library. Corinne talked about "The State of the Library." She did a wonderful presentation and discussed changes that have been made during the last three years as well as future plans.
