The Library Friends & Foundation (LPLFF) provides access and opportunities for Lawrence to learn, connect, create, and grow and you can help sustain our efforts at any level. From donating books, making a financial contribution, or including the library in your estate plan — your gift will make a life-changing impact

We believe that libraries play a vital role in communities and private donations are needed to enhance public funding libraries receive. While private funding cannot replace strong public library funding of the Lawrence Public Library, it is clear that the library can no longer rely solely on city funding to give children, students, and adults full access to the information and services they need.

We are a volunteer powered organization and our volunteers move actual mountains of books—around 4,000 books come through our doors each week.

Gifts to LPLFF may be designated for the library's unrestricted needs, its endowment fund or for larger, capital requirements.
