The Friends of the Milwaukee Public Library
The Friends of the Milwaukee Public Library is a separate and distinct volunteer group with the goal of advocating and improving library services through private donations, used book sales, and fundraising events. Affectionately known as “The Friends,” the group oversees and operates the very popular Bookseller used book store, hosts quarterly book sales throughout the community, and leads free historic tours of the beautiful Central Library. Additionally, The Friends sponsors programs such as the Spring Literary Luncheon, the Milwaukee Poet Laureate, the Wisconsin Writers Wall of Fame, and other literary events and author visits.
