Friends of the Jefferson Public Library

Friends of the Jefferson Public Library is an independent nonprofit organization in Metairie, LA, comprised of civic-minded volunteers dedicated to supporting the Jefferson Parish Library. Over the past thirty years, they have raised over $1,500,000 to promote library awareness, provide unbudgeted items, and participate in literacy programs.

The organization hosts a semiannual Big Book Sale at the Pontchartrain Center, offering approximately 100,000 books at low prices and promoting access to literature within the community. Additionally, they operate a year-round store at the Eastbank Regional Library, manage book carts with affordable paperbacks, and sponsor book signings for local authors.
