New Orleans Public Library is one of the most important cultural and educational resources in our community. Friends of New Orleans Public Library works to ensure that New Orleans has an exceptional public library system that meets the diverse needs of the people it serves. 

While public funding supports fundamental library operations, your donations helps ensure a higher level of service now and in the future. Thank you for making a great library system even better!

We have three major goals in 2025, and your participation in the Classic can help us get there!

Summer Fun Reading Challenge: This two-month event for all ages features events, hands-on activities and contests to foster a lifelong love of reading Your support allows us to bring even more performers and instructors to make Summer 2025 the best yet! 

Scholarships for Library Staff: Becoming a librarian is about so much more than just loving  books. They are highly-trained professionals who need to hold  masters degrees to move into higher-level positions. We are proud to fund scholarships for NOPL employees who are pursuing their Masters in Library Science at LSU. Our goal is to provide $20,000 in scholarship funding in 2025.

A Van for the Friends: We sell used books at our two used bookstores to raise funds for the library. As we have expanded our pop-up sales across the city, we are looking to invest in a used van. Can you help us get behind the wheel by putting on your running shoes?

If you have any questions about the Friends, please email director@friendsnola.org. We look forward to putting down our books and putting on our running shoes with you!
