For 75 years, Friends of the Dallas Public Library has been the driving force behind our city’s vibrant library system. Since our founding in 1950, we’ve raised over $60 million to enrich our libraries and foster community connections.

How important are Friends members?

Since the beginning of the American library movement, Friends groups have been formed by citizens using their collective powers to do everything from running a book sale to ensuring that our American library legacy remains viable. 

Join us in making Dallas libraries essential learning institutions. With your support, we can continue to inspire, educate, and connect our diverse community.
