The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library
We know libraries are essential for thriving communities, but public funding isn’t enough to provide the resources that residents seek. The Friends invests in the library through fundraising, advocacy, and programming.
Because of The Friends’ support, the library can respond better to community needs, so their communities thrive.
