DC Public Library is celebrating National Friends of Libraries Week from Oct. 20 - 26 and your Friends Group needs YOU! The Friends of the DC Public

For more than a century, the public library has been one of the city's most valued assets, sustaining and improving the quality of life and education in D.C.



Private support makes the difference between what the library would provide if it relied solely on tax revenue, and the excellent programs and services it does provide for our city. Donated time and money enable the library to purchase additional books, upgrade and replace equipment and expand our programming for children. Consider getting involved with DC Public Library for continued impact!
