Friends of the Lockport Public Library, Inc.

Who We Are

The Friends of the Lockport Public Library Inc. is a volunteer not-for-profit organization, founded in 1998, whose purpose is to support the resources, services, and programs of the Library, and promote the Library's presence in the community.

We maintain a year-round used book sale at the Book Nook on Floor 2 of the library and host two large book sales each year. The proceeds from these sales and your membership dollars helpfund new book collections for the library, as well as educational programs.

The Board of Directors is elected from the membership. Directors serve terms of three years. Officers are elected annually by the membership from the Board of Directors.

Friends' contributions, including grants and partnerships, to the Lockport Public Library total over $50,000!
