Who We Are

​Since 1965, the Friends have offered support and advocacy for the Chattanooga Public Library.  For over 50 years, we have provided over $1,000,000 in support through used book sales, events, memberships, and generous community donations. Additionally, we have established an endowment to ensure that our work can continue for many years to come. Through the pioneering spirit of its founders, year over year we recruit board members and committee volunteers who are widely respected in the community and give countless hours to advance our mission.
