About

Who are the Friends

The Friends of the Duluth Public Library is a membership based organization that assists with the development and promotion of the Duluth Public Library and advocates its importance in the community.

Money raised through sales, activities and memberships is donated to the Library. Friends’ contributions are the largest source of funding for programs and events at all three locations. These contributions make possible the summer and winter reading programs for all ages, scavenger hunts, craft programs, game nights and more. A very popular program which is entirely funded through private donations is Kaleidoscope, a free entertainment series for children that take place during the summer in the Main Library plaza. Gifts from the Friends are also used to purchase books and other items to further enhance the Library’s collection.
