As Friends, we are the primary fundraisers
for the Library. We promote the importance of the Library in
our community, provide materials and equipment that the
Library could not ordinarily purchase from its budget, sponsor
enriching cultural programs, raise funds for special
initiatives, and volunteer time to assist with projects. We
conduct a book sale each spring and fall and coordinate the
Library Fund Drive for the Youngstown Free Library Board of
Trustees.
All proceeds directly benefit Library services, materials and
resources. Our work is vital to the Library's success.

Fundraisers marked with an asterisk (*) are hosted by the
Board of Trustees of the Youngstown Free Library. As
governmental support has waned, the fundraising needs for the
Library have become even more essential to keep our tiny
library financially sustainable. The Board and the Friends
both hold fundraisers to support the Youngstown Free Library.
In pre-pandemic times, the Friends of the Library hosted
popular annual fundraisers like Dessert & Wine in the
Stacks, garage sales, and more. We are hopeful that these
popular indoor events can return this year!
