About
Us
Our Mission: The Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library is an independent non-profit organization whose mission is to support the public library by providing funding, advocacy, programming, services, and materials that enrich the diverse community it serves.
Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library was founded
in 1974 as a vibrant community organization that promotes
reading and learning through quality library services,
and that is supported by an active, involved, and growing
membership.
Santa Fe Public Libraries are community information
hubs where everyone can gather to learn, create and
dream. The Friends of the Library seeks to preserve
and enhance our libraries for generations today and
tomorrow.
Through membership dues, contributions, and book sales,
Friends of the Library has raised over $2,000,000 for
