Friends of the Mill Valley Library

Friends of the Mill Valley Library Friends of the Mill Valley Library supports community involvement with the Library through volunteer efforts, cultural events, and donations.

The Friends of the Mill Valley Library is a group of enthusiastic Community members who believe that the Mill Valley Public Library is one of the key elements that makes our town a wonderful place to live. While the Library's operating budget is primarily funded from the City budget, discretionary money for book and DVD purchases comes largely from donations. That's where The Friends comes in. The

group donates money raised through their frequent book sales, membership drives, and other activities (over $2,000,000 so far!). The Friends of the Library promotes volunteerism on the Library's behalf (and many of them are active volunteers). Every month, the Friends sponsor cultural and informational events for the public. With their Newsletter and Monthly Events Bulletin, The Friends work to ensure that the Community is aware of all the wonderful things the Library offers. Their informal interactions with the Library staff and the Board of Trustees help ensure that the Library continues to be aware of the needs of the Community.

GREAT LIBRARIES NEED GREAT FRIENDS. LET’S BE FRIENDS.

Since 1967, The Friends of the Mill Valley Library have donated over $2.5 million to fund additional services such as the History Room, computer classes, evening programs, podcasts, book groups, technology upgrades and the soon to come, Wi-Fi in the Depot Plaza. This support has helped reinforce the Library as a place of life-long learning, cultural experience and a place where people can find community.

We are able to offer these funds through monies raised from Friends memberships, sales of donated books at our online bookstore (bookstore.friendsmvl.org), and your valuable support.
