Building more than programs, we’re building community.

Grateful for a passionate board that shows up with ideas, energy, and a shared vision for what’s next. From growing membership to expanding impact, today’s conversations were all about the future of our Friends group and how we continue to connect, support, and inspire.

Let’s be friends!

We loved seeing so many familiar faces and meeting new friends at the Spring Big Book Sale. Your stories, your excitement, and your support are what make this event so special.

A huge shoutout to our amazing volunteers who make it all happen — from setting up and organizing thousands of books to helping you find your next great read, checking guests out, and keeping everything running smoothly. We couldn’t do it without you!

Want to stay close to the action? Becoming a Friend is easy and memberships start at just $20 and make great gifts all year long.
