Our Mission
Friends of the Hayward Library is a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Hayward Public Library and the community it serves. Through book sales, fundraising, and volunteer programs, we help expand what the library can offer; from new materials and technology to programs that bring people together. We believe a strong library is central to a strong community, and every dollar we raise goes directly back into that mission.
Book Sales
Regular used book sales raise funds for the library while giving the community an easy way to find great books at low prices.
Volunteering
From sorting donations to staffing sales, volunteers are the backbone of everything we do. No experience needed, just a love of books and community.
Fundraising
Beyond book sales, we run fundraising campaigns and community events that directly support library programs, materials, and technology.
Community
We partner with the Hayward Public Library and local organizations to bring programming, events, and resources to the community we serve.
