How you help

This all-volunteer membership organization was founded by a group of devoted library supporters in 1961 to enhance the services and programs of our Peninsula libraries.
About us

Currently, more than 800 Friends provide the financial resources to ensure that the library district has the funds necessary to continue vital programs and services that enrich our community. In fact, it provides 5% of the library’s budget, without which the peninsula libraries would be forced to reduce operating hours and cut services.
