Donate To Support Your Local Libraries
Every day, Multnomah County libraries open their doors to readers, job seekers, students, families, and neighbors looking for a welcoming place to learn, create, and belong. Libraries are one of the few public spaces that are truly free and open to everyone.
Friends of the Multnomah County Library helps make these experiences possible by funding programs, partnerships, equipment, and special opportunities that enrich library services beyond what public funding alone can provide. Whether supporting a new library, promoting literacy, celebrating library workers, or bringing art and community events into library spaces, your generosity helps strengthen one of our community's most essential resources.
Together, we're building libraries that inspire curiosity, foster connection, and serve every person in Multnomah County.
Contributions to Friends of the Multnomah County Library are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable under the law. Our federal tax ID number is 93-6097526.
