The Friends of the Poughkeepsie Public Library District’s mission is to promote the importance of the library as an informational and cultural force in our community. In keeping with that mission, we value the importance of working with our community and, when possible, support donation requests from local organizations.

Surplus books donated to the Friends Book Store are available throughout the year to schools and charitable organizations. Please contact the Community Outreach Coordinator at friendscoordinator@poklib.org to see what books are currently available.
