Hello! We're happy you stopped by - To learn more about the Friends, join our email list:
Who are the Friends of the Seattle Public Library?We are book lovers, information seekers, readers, listeners, music and movie buffs. We are young and old, with varying interests and backgrounds. We all treasure ideas and value the public library as a vital community resource. We all believe that The Seattle Public Library is an excellent library, ready to serve the whole community.
Become a Friend today! What do the Friends do?The Friends support library programs, raise funds for special purposes, volunteer to do projects, promote community awareness of libraries, advocate for robust city funding of The Library, and support the freedom of individuals to read what they wish. We raise funds, with the help of our tireless volunteers, at our famous twice-yearly
book sales of books and media donated by the community, and materials no longer needed by the Library. We and our volunteers also operate the innovative FriendShop at the Central Library. Some Friends are deeply involved, some lend their moral support. For more about the Friends, visit our
