About the Friends
The Friends of the North Shore Library, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission to promote the library as a vital part of the four communities it serves. It does this by providing invaluable volunteer and financial support to the North Shore Library. Members' dues and donations, as well as sales of donated books throughout the year, help to fund many important library services and materials that are widely used by our communities' residents.
Some of the projects the Friends have supported include: our popular Lucky Day Collection of highly sought-after books, our Summer Library Program for all ages, our circulating and in-house digitization kits, and our Explore Passes for free admission to popular local venues. The Friends stock a great set of donated books for sale to the public year-round, and staff twice-annual book sales - all to provide funding for these projects.
The Friends' bylaws can be found here.
