We have donated more than $1,800,000 to Whittier Public Library since our founding in 1964.
Every year, we make a gift of unrestricted funds to the City, which the Library uses for programming, equipment and publicity for its many services.
Our primary source of income is sales at the Friends Book Store and Central Library. There is no paid staff–all the work is done by a dedicated corps of volunteers.
Our work is also supported by membership dues, the contribution of individuals, families and businesses, and grants from philanthropic organizations.
Basic Membership starts at just $10.00 a year. Pick up an application at the Library today. For more information about the Friends, call the Library at 562-567-9922.
