Welcome to the Alameda Free Library Foundation Website

Alameda is fortunate to have a beautiful Main Library and two refurbished branch libraries on the West End and Bay Farm Island. A wide variety of Alamedans of all ages and backgrounds can be found using these resources every day -- checking out books, doing research in reference works and the Internet, meeting a friend for coffee in Dewey's Friends Café , attending a meeting or event, introducing a child to the joy of reading.

The Alameda Library Foundation was created in 1998 to ensure that these services will be available for many years to come, and that our libraries remain the vibrant, meaningful centers of community that they are today.The Foundation raises money for the libraries’ use, offering flexibility to meet long and short-term needs. The Foundation Board works closely with the library administration and with the Friends of the Library, a separate volunteer organization whose members put in many hours fundraising, putting on events including a semi-annual book sale, staffing the Main Library café and more. For more information about these organizations. Continue Reading About Our Foundation
