About the Friends

The Friends of The Newark Public Library is a community-based membership organization dedicated to supporting and promoting The Newark Public Library through programs, advocacy and financial support.

As a Friend, you will receive frequent mailings concerning events and programs presented by The Library, special member-only programs and activities, and your membership card will provide discounts on admission to special events and purchases.

Since 1990, hundreds of individuals, families and businesses have joined the Friends, holding booksales and other programs to raise thousands of dollars for the Library. These funds have purchased new books and equipment and supported many special projects.

As a Friend, you will be among a special group of individuals, families and businesses that understand a public library is more than just books, and The Newark Public Library is more than just a library.

As a continuing testimony to the foresight and contributions of early director John Cotton Dana, The Newark Public Library stands at the forefront of public libraries in the United States. Your membership and participation in the Friends of The Newark Public Library will enable any who use its services to receive the best library services available, anywhere.
