The Friends of the Loveland Public Library Foundation is dedicated to supporting and advocating for the Loveland Public Library and its mission "to inform, enrich, and inspire a strong, engaged community."

The Friends generate current and long-term funding for library activities through volunteer involvement.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

To address an impending 2025 city budget shortfall, voters will see a proposed 1% sales tax increase for city services on the upcoming ballot. 

It is essential to our library that this passes. If it doesn't, the library is anticipated to receive a 33% budget reduction, resulting in job cuts, drastically reduced hours, and severely curtailed services. This will affect anyone and everyone who uses our library. 

For information about how you can help save our library personnel and services, see the website of the grassroots citizen action movement Save Our Services Loveland at https://sosloveland.org/. Specific details about impacts to the library budget are at https://sosloveland.org/impacts-to-the-library.


Mark your calendars for our Fall 2024 used book sale, October 18-20.




Our friends at Loveland Loves to Read are excited to welcome Shelley Read, author of Go as a River, for an author talk and book signing on April 22!

Tickets are available now at Colorado Box Office

We need donations of books, puzzles, CDs, and DVDs for our next sale!
