Friends of the Tempe Public Library

Friends of the Tempe Public Library is a dedicated organization that advocates for and financially supports diverse programs aimed at promoting literacy, lifelong learning, and community involvement. Through initiatives such as a used bookstore, a lively coffee shop named Connections Cafe, and partnerships with Arizona State University, they enhance the local library experience for readers and learners of all ages.

Their mission encompasses building special spaces like the Children’s Learning Lab and the Adobe Playhouse, enhancing resources like the Puppet Theatre, and sustaining valuable programs such as the Summer Reading Program. Community volunteers play an essential role in achieving these goals, fostering a culture of learning and joy centered around the library.
