About Us
The mission of Friends of the Surprise Libraries is to promote the presence of Libraries for the benefit of the community and to create public awareness by serving as an advocate for Libraries. We also support literacy and reading programs through our Grant Program.
WHO WE ARE

We raise funds through an ongoing sale of used books, annual memberships, sponsorships and cash donations. As a non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization all memberships and donations may be tax deductible by contributors.
