About Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library, Inc.

The Friends is a non-profit 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports, enhances and advocates for the value of the Boca Raton Public Library as a vital center of knowledge for our diverse and dynamic community. Since its incorporation in 1990, the Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library have striven to assist the library to broaden and enrich library-based services. In its first year, the Friends raised $5000 for the library; the Friends average donation to the library now is $50,000 to $60,000 per year. In addition, in 2011 the Friends bequeathed a $250,000 gift for the building of the new downtown library. In 2019, the Friends funded $77,000 to purchase the library's bookmobile for community outreach services.
