Friends of LPL

The Friends of the Lewiston Public Library is a nonprofit organization that promotes the work of the Library and its connections to the community. Through the years funds from the Friends have supported facilities, resources and services not covered by the annual budget including LPL’s expansion and modernization, visionary programs for children, teens and adults, visits by speakers and experts, computer and online resources, hundreds of books and much more.

Among many recent contributions, the Friends have maintained its Book Nook located just inside the Library’s entrance where the public can browse and purchase low-cost used books, supported an author’s visit for Lewiston/Auburn Community Read, contributed free passes to Maine State Parks, the Children’s Museum of Maine, the Maine Wildlife Park and the Coastal Botanical Gardens, and kept the community up to date about the Library through the fall Friends Focus and spring newsletter.

The Friends of LPL are excited to play a role in LPL’s current capital campaign. Learn more here: https://lplonline.org/about/support-the-library
