How we are different from the Friends of the Library.
The Foundation engages with individual, foundation, and corporate donors to raise funds to support Library programs. Gifts from donors build the library collections, fund the purchase of giveaway books, and strengthen library programs and services for the benefit of the Pierce County Library System community.
Friends of the Library groups are member-supported, nonprofit organizations that support library services in their local communities. These community members advocate for their library and raise support and awareness through book sales and other activities.
