In 1992, Frances T. Bourne founded The Friends of the Jacaranda Public Library to raise funds to help build and furnish the new library. Through the years, the Friends have continued to raise money to purchase additional items for the library, including books, furnishings, and technical equipment. Most of the children, youth and adult community programs held at the library are sponsored by the Friends. Also, the library and Book Shop volunteers are honored at an annual dinner that the Friends provide.  

In 1994, the Jacaranda Library was founded. Later, in 1995, its name was changed to the Frances T. Bourne Jacaranda Library. The change honors and dedicates the library to Frances T. Bourne, a former archivist who helped raise capital for the building.   

In 2004, Jacaranda Library received an expansion doubling its original size. Now, the library features a lily pond, walking path, musical garden, and commemorating plaques for our generous donors.
