Public libraries are priceless community resources. It is up to all of us to take care of them. Your support of the Friends of New Orleans Public Library ensures that we will have a thriving library system for generations to come.

While public funding supports fundamental library operations, your donations helps ensure a higher level of service now and in the future. Thank you for making a great library system even better!

We have two major goals in 2026, and your participation in the Classic can help us get there!

Summer Fun Reading Challenge: This two-month event for all ages features events, hands-on activities and contests to foster a lifelong love of reading. Your support allows us to bring even more performers and instructors to make Summer 2026 the best yet! Last yeear we held over 100 events for all ages, such as Snakes Alive snake identification programs for kids, cookingg classes for teens, and gardening programs for adults. They are not just learning opportunities, but chances to build community and to connect with our neighbors.

Scholarships for Library Staff: Becoming a librarian is about so much more than just loving  books. They are highly-trained professionals who need to hold  masters degrees to move into higher-level positions. We are proud to fund scholarships for NOPL employees who are pursuing their Masters in Library Science at LSU. Our goal is to provide $20,000 in scholarship funding in 2026.Let's show our library staff how much we value their hard work!

If you have any questions about the Friends, please email director@friendsnola.org. We look forward to putting down our books and putting on our running shoes with you!
