The Friends of the Jefferson Public Library is an independent, nonprofit organization comprised of dedicated volunteers who actively support the Jefferson Parish Library. Through fundraising efforts and participation in literacy programs, the Friends promote library awareness and provide much-needed unbudgeted items for all branches of the library system.
The Friends' major fundraiser is the semiannual Big Book Sale, offering an impressive selection of approximately 100,000 books at remarkably low prices. This community event not only generates funds but also promotes literacy by making affordable books accessible to homes. Additionally, the Friends operate a year-round store at the Eastbank Regional Library, offering a variety of small gift items, postcards, stationary, records, and previously owned books at attractive prices. They also maintain book carts at each library branch, selling paperbacks for $1.00 apiece throughout the year, and sponsor all book signings for the library.
