Friends of the Library hosted meeting to discuss volunteer activities, including donation sorting and book sales, among other items. The meeting is open to the public and all are welcome to join.

Friends of the Sacramento Public Library is a volunteer helpmate to the award-winning Sacramento Public Library system. As a membership-supported nonprofit, the Friends advocate, raise funds, and provide crucial support to the system's 28 libraries. There is a Branch Friends Group at most of the 28 branch libraries of Sacramento Public Library.

Friends of the Sacramento Public Library is proud to serve as a community ambassador for the Library. Our volunteer activities help the Library expand the materials and programs serving our diverse community beyond those normally included in the Library’s operating budget. We also advocate on behalf of increased funding for the Library through our public relations initiatives and publications.

We believe that public libraries play an important role in giving everyone a chance to succeed because they provide free access to materials and resources. We share the Library's belief that reading is fundamental to children's well-being, and that our community has a responsibility to ensure that all of our children learn to read fluently starting no later than first grade.
