Who are the Friends of the Guelph Public Library?
We are an arms-length group of community volunteers who believe that the Guelph Public Library is a necessary & vital community institution.
We support the goals of the Library.
We volunteer to make a great library even better.
We promote the Library in the community through special programs, fundraising, and advocacy.
Our main fundraiser is our annual Community Book Sale.
In September, 2023, a cheque for $1 million, revenue accrued through these book sales, was presented to the public library for use in the main library building project.
The BIG Book Sale was a BIG success
$95,000 raised — 5,000 attendees — 55,000 items sold!
Thank you! – The Bamco Group, Red Brick Cafe,
over 250 volunteers, and our faithful customers.
