Who we are
The Friends of the Milpitas Library is an active non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Milpitas Public Library. There are over 200 Friends composed of community residents and library patrons who show their support for the Milpitas Library by being part of this organization. Membership is open to all.
Funding
The Friends' main source of funds is book sales. We have three main sales channels: (1) an on-going sale in the Book Nook near the circulation desk at the Library, (2) online sales through Amazon, and (3) three major book sale events annually plus periodic one-day sales.
Approximately 95% of the funds raised by the Friends go directly to the Milpitas Public Library to support a variety of programs, grants, supplies, and library projects.
