Friends of the Edmonds Library's goals are to support and enhance the Edmonds Library; promote literacy, reading, and use of information resources; and advance education in library and information science. The Edmonds Friends group was organized and incorporated in March 1979 by 15 founding members. Today we have over 180 members.
We are a not-for-profit tax exempt volunteer organization and we raise money through our Memorial and Gift Fund, an on-going book sale in the Library and our huge annual book sale usually held the fourth Saturday in October. We have raised over $456,000 for our programs.
Summer reading support
Programs for teens and children
Equipment and training for staff
New furniture such as shelving
"Best Book I ever Read" poster contest
Aquarium and indoor plantings
Outdoor signs
In addition we also sponsor a scholarship for a student attending the University of Washington Information School.
