Be A Friend

 

SUPPORT THE LIBRARY YOU LOVE WITH A GIFT STARTING AT $5

Help us reach our goal!

During The Friends’ and the Saint Paul Public Library’s 2014 public awareness campaign, our goal is to get 300 new members.

A donation of any size makes you a member of The Friends and eligible for all the benefits of membership.

Be a FriendWe call our basic membership level “Storyteller.” It doesn’t cost a lot, but some of the rewards are priceless: the sense of civic pride that comes from supporting a vital community institution, as well as the knowledge that your support makes a real difference to the Saint Paul Public Library. And when you share good stories about the Library and your experiences there, it helps the rest of the world understand how important our library is.

Donate NowSo please take that membership level to heart, and do share your library stories. If you’re on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram, be sure to include the hashtag #BecauseOfTheLibrary and you’ll be part of the larger conversation.
