FOL and the Library

A great partnership

The Friends of the Library is embarking on it’s second 50 years of supporting the Santa Fe Public Library. We have spent the last year focussing on our mission, our vision and lots of action plans and now we are ready to talk about it!

Our agenda remains the same as it has for the last 50 years - to support the many and myriad programs that the library creates and offers every day. These programs go way beyond books - although we LOVE books!

We also love working with Jessica and Tiffany, the Library’s program managers. They are wildly creative and highly skilled at tapping into the interests of all of Santa Fe citizens every day.

Here is a short list of SFPL programs that are creating community and enriching the lives of Santa Feans of all ages.

Bilingual Babies and Books
Books behind the Business
Prison Program
Paws and Pages
Teen Lounge

May is an exciting month for community collaborations!

Santa Fe Story Lab

We are teaming up with Collected Works! Come hear six local storytellers share their 5-minute stories. Listening to these compelling, funny and soulful personal stories widens our perspective and helps us realize what we all have in common.

We will be selling books written by the Santa Fe International Literary Festival authors and other specially-priced books.
