The Friends of The Seattle Public Library was established in 1941, the 50th anniversary of the library system. The Friends have sponsored many different programs over the years. Events popular in the 1940s, such as teas, gave way to programs serving contemporary needs, including those of underserved populations. Through sponsoring programs, supporting adequate facilities and funding for the Library, providing volunteers, and collaborating with other Library and civic groups, the Friends have helped Seattle maintain a world class, inclusive library system.

The FriendShop is a gift shop in the Central Library loaded with literary-themed gifts and supplies useful at the library. The Georgetown used bookshop is filled with used books of every genre. Our locations showcase Pacific Northwest artists, design and innovation. Come visit us to see what else we are working on and how you can easily be a part of something big.
