Mission Statement:

The mission of the Friends is to support the programs, staff, and facilities of the public library. We are a not-for-profit community organization dedicated to providing funds and volunteer services that the library itself may be unable to provide.

The Friends of the Library organization:

• Initiates and produces events to benefit the library, its patrons, local authors and the broader community of Saratoga Springs
• Organizes special fundraising events to support community activities and to encourage library use
• Works closely with the library staff and governing board to ensure that all activities are consistent with, and complementary to, the daily operation of the library
• Provides the flexibility of a privately funded organization for the benefit of the publicly funded library
