Welcome to Friends of Prescott Public Library
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 $225,510 for the library over the last two years.
Our mission is to enhance the library through fundraising, advocacy, and volunteerism
We Need Your Support



Our Impact
There are Friends of the library and then there are the Friends. The Friends were organized to help a good library become even better. Since its founding in 1968, the Friends of the Prescott Public Library have raised enough money to enhance Prescott’s Living Room. The Friends also accept and administer funds given to the benefit of the library. Membership dues, donations of books and magazines and contributions and bequests turn into counteless library services and Friends of the Prescott Public Library programs. It’s magic.
