The Friends of the Library (FOL) of the American Academy in Rome was founded in 1961 by library readers to help build the library's collections with their annual dues and special initiatives. For nearly half a century the FOL has provided important financial support for acquisitions, and has helped to raise awareness of the library through regular programs presenting the works of its readers. Academy Fellows, Residents, artists, scholars and other readers in the Academy's Arthur & Janet C. Ross Library, as well as book lovers worldwide, are cordially invited to join the Friends of the Library of the American Academy in Rome.
