The Bainbridge Island Friends of the Library is a 501(c)3 charitable organization registered with the IRS and the State of Washington which is entirely staffed by volunteers from the community.
Our mission is to support the Bainbridge Public Library by working in partnership with the Board of the Bainbridge Public Library and the Library Director.
The kind of support we provide are library events, services, and programs that are compatible with the Bainbridge Public Library policies and objectives. In addition the Friends promote knowledge of the functions, resources, services, and needs of the library.
Book Sales - Thousands of gently used books!
All through with that book, DVD, magazine, or music CD?
Box up your old books, CD’s and DVD’s and bring them to the Bainbridge Friends of the library. The Friends Volunteers will sort your donations, price them, and with three monthly sales, convert them into financial support for library programs and activities that inform and entertain children and adults. These funds also buy books requested by Islanders and subscriptions to sixty of the magazines our patrons enjoy reading.
Next time you clean out your book shelves, please join your friends and neighbors and donate your books to the Library. Become a member of a remarkable partnership: The Bainbridge Island Community and Friends of the Library.
