Where Do Friends Books Come From?

Community residents donate over 100,000 books each year to the library. These donations are processed by the Friends for sale through our Big Book Sales (20,000+ books at each sale), the Friends Online Book Store (7,000+ books), and other venues to raise money for library collections, programs and services. Books are also a way we thank our members for their support of the library each year!

Friends Funds at Work
Friends of Chapel Hill Public Library raise more than $175,000 for the Library each year from the sale of books donated by the community, membership dues and donations, and events. In addition to an annual pledge of support for collections, programs, and services, the Friends fund a variety of special projects:

Explore More In Pritchard Park provides outdoor experiential learning opportunities in science, nature and the environment.

The Circulator brings staff, collections and services into the community.

The Summer Blast creates a fantastic season of story times, book clubs, special performances and summer reading programs for children and families.

The Welcome Hub provides a new modern service point for Library users.

Sixteen additional parking spaces in the Upper Lot facilitate access by easing parking congestion for Library users.

The programs and services the Library provides to our community would not make as much of a positive impact without the financial support provided by the Friends through annual memberships, book sale proceeds and other activities. These funds are put to use enhancing every aspect of the Library. We love our Friends!
