We are thankful to everyone who supports Poudre Libraries, in both small and large ways. It takes a community to bring life to a library, and your support for our programs, events, and services has not gone unnoticed. 

If you’re looking for an opportunity to give back to the library and your community, stop by Poudre Libraries.

Volunteer at the Library

Volunteers enrich the Library in many ways. The hundreds of hours of volunteer service are an immeasurable value to our community. In 2023, more than 350 volunteers gave nearly 8,300 hours their time and energy to helping with library program, events, and other activities. We invite volunteers to join us for ongoing and one-time assignments.

Library Giving

Each year for Colorado Gives Day, the Poudre Library Trust raises funds for their endowment and a variety of projects that benefit the library. There are many other library giving opportunities. Whether you give $5 or $5,000, you’ll be an integral part of creating a culture of philanthropy for the Libraries and the greater community.

Friends of the Library Book Sales

The Poudre River Friends of the Library contribute more than $70,000 from book sale proceeds, fundraising, and memberships every year to our libraries to help fund programs and events like Summer Adventure. You can become a Friend member or support them by shopping their many used book sales.
