Welcome to Friends of the Prescott Public Library

Our mission:

To enhance the Library through Fundraising, Advocacy, and Volunteerism

Each year the library staff provides the Board of the Friends with a funding request. These funds are used to cover costs of programs, supplies and other support, but not for staff salaries and benefits; those costs remain the responsibility of the City. Through your donations alone, Friends of the Prescott Public Library has raised over $294,195 for the library the last year.

We need your support

Donate

Join friends… donate today. As an engaged citizen, your gift will support our library and help raise the quality of life for all of our community.

Volunteer

The Friends Book Sale, which is run by a dedicated staff of library volunteers, earns enough money annually to cover all of the children’s programming, and the majority of adult programming.

Advocacy

Friends advocates on behalf of the library. We cannot advocate for individual candidates given our 201(c)3 status, but do campaign for issues related to the library.

Our Impact

There are friends of the library and then there are Friends. Friends of the library were organized to help a great library become even better. Since its founding in 1968, Friends of the Prescott Public Library have raised enough money to enhance Prescott’s Living Room. Friends also accepts and administers funds given to benefit the library. Donations of books, magazines, monetary contributions and bequests turn into countless library services and Friends of the Prescott Public Library programs. It’s magic!
