Through community-based efforts, the Friends of the Birmingham Public Library attend to the library's needs, generate new ideas, offer advice and encouragement, volunteer time and energy, and secure financial support.

The Friends of the Birmingham Public Library is an organization dedicated to helping the library improve the quality and scope of its services. We provide volunteers for and advocate on behalf of the library. Working closely with BPL staff, we help it to be the best library it can be.
PROGRAMS
The Bookstore offers a treasure trove of print books, audio books, book bags, magazines, records and other media at nominal prices. Proceeds assist in funding library programs. Friends volunteers manage and staff the store.
