Formed in 1989 the Friends of the Library are a volunteer, non-profit group that believes in libraries and their importance to the community. Their purpose is to provide financial assistance to the Moose Jaw Public Library for projects and acquisitions not provided for in the library's annual budget; to stimulate community awareness and use of the library; to create public support for the library and its services; and to promote the library at every opportunity. The Friends of the Library Used Book Sale sale is a semi-annual event held in the meeting rooms on the top floor of the original library building. The items for sale are library materials which have been withdrawn from the collection due to condition or dated content or which have been donated and are surplus to our requirements. The book sales are fund raising events sponsored and staffed by the Friends of the Library. 100% of proceeds are used to fund projects which will enhance library collections or services. The Friends are registered as a charitable organization and as such issue income tax deductible receipts to donors.
