Friends of the Library

ABOUT THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

The Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library was founded in 1974 as a vibrant community organization that promotes reading and learning through quality library services, and that is supported by an active, involved and growing membership.

Santa Fe Public Libraries are community information hubs where everyone can gather to learn, create and dream. The Friends of the Library seeks to preserve and enhance our libraries for generations today and tomorrow.

Through membership dues, contributions, and book sales, Friends of the Library has raised over $850,000 for the Santa Fe Public Library. Virtually every penny donated to Friends of the Library directly supports:

Expanded book collections including books on tape, books in Spanish and large print books
Computer services for internet access and document creation
Children and family programs such as the summer reading program, after school programs and family evening storytellers
Poetry workshops and author lectures
