Founded in 1950, Friends of the of the Dallas Public Library is a member supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that advocates for the Dallas Public Library system and seeks to enhance community awareness for all its unique resources and benefits. The Friends also raises funds through special events, grants, corporate and private donations of its members to support library initiated programs and for capital improvements.
The sole mission of the Friends of the Dallas Public Library is to support the efforts of the Dallas Public Library to continue providing excellent levels of service to the citizens of Dallas and maintain its pride of place as an important civic institution in the City. Because of its independent, tax exempt status, the Friends is able to raise funds – both on a project basis and to increase its dedicated endowment – in a manner beyond the ability of City allocations.
