Best Answer

I know of two libraries in my area that were started by women's groups. Friends of the libraries, that fundraise for the financial growth and support. Initially asking for community support through volunteer labor, financial donations, donated books. Then finding a place to put the books and begin lending them out. The project blossoms to become a wonderful resource for education and cultural activities.

No. There are a lot of for-profit libraries. Most for-profit libraries are corporate libraries, while non-profit libraries tend to be public libraries.

This charge varies from library to library, however it is often very expensive for public libraries and they typically lose money in providing this service.
