Friends of the Library is a volunteer
organization of local residents
dedicated to enhancing the Menlo Park Public Library, its resources
and the many services it provides to the community. Activities
include sponsorship of events and efforts to promote literacy,
as well as raising funds.
Activities to promote literacy include
the annual "Kepler's Day", where
Friends' volunteers support local schools in a drive to increase
the number of books read by students.
Fund-raising activities include:
- Sales of donated materials in the "Bookstore,"
a nook within the library near the entrance.
- Annual book sales in September and
December where a collection of books are sold and auctioned.
- Friends of the Library actively seeks
residents of the city as new members.
