The Friends of the Livermore Library is an association for people interested in books and a city library. Our purpose is to educate the public on library services and needs and to stimulate gifts of books, magazines, desirable collections, funds, endowments and bequests.

Since its inception, Friends of the Livermore Library has donated more than $200,000 to the Livermore Public Library to fund special purchases and projects such as:

• Books and non-book items
• Financial assistance to help open the Springtown and Rincon branch libraries
• Underwriting the Library's 1996 Centennial Celebration
• Funding for Library-in-a-Box which provides a summer library in under-serviced areas
• Funding for Livermore Project READ.
• Friends of the Livermore Library has provided volunteers to help keep the Library open Sundays and organized a • variety of Author's night programs.

Volunteers operate the Friends' Bookstore at the Civic Center Library where donated books are sorted and sold. Our annual Spring Book Sale also helps raise funds.
