Friends of the San Francisco Public Library is a member-supported nonprofit organization that advocates, fundraises, and provides critical support for the San Francisco Public Library. We provide the community with opportunities to invest in the success of the Library by donating funds or by donating time through volunteering. We raise money and we raise our voices to ensure a first-class public library for San Francisco.
From our dedicated staff to our committed Board of Directors, from our enthusiastic members to our extraordinary volunteers, from our generous donor base to the thousands of people who benefit from the programs we support, we are what our name implies: a collection of committed, caring individuals who share a common vision of a superior free public library for our City.

*Books, books and more books!*
Each year, Friends receives more than 600,000 donated books, which we resell to the public through two bookstores and a number of book sales including the Big Book Sale, the largest book sale on the west coast. All proceeds benefit the Library and many books are donated to schools and other non-profit organizations. Notable books are offered to the special collections of the Library.
