Friends groups are a traditional part of a library's program.
They are organized by citizens interested in books and libraries and who want to assist the library in achieving its goals. The Friends of the Sunnyvale Public Library was organized in early 1965 and was incorporated in the Spring of 1967. The Friends supplement the Library's total program by participating in volunteer activities, raising funds and promoting the library in the community. Provide the library with a regular volunteer group which performs varied tasks to assist the staff and enrich library service. Raise funds to purchase special materials and equipment not provided for in the regular budget through a variety of special events including three book sales held annually in spring, summer and fall.
