Support the Birmingham Public Library
The
Birmingham Public Library is a great library because of its many
supporters, and there are many ways to get involved.

Birmingham Public Library Foundation
|
|
The Birmingham Public Library Foundation fundraises
to support programming, improve facilities, and purchase equipment that
is beyond the library’s annual budget. The Foundation improves access to
library resources—books and other reading materials, historical
collections, educational programs, and technology—through the generous
donations of individuals, foundations and corporations throughout the
region. The Foundation believes that increasing the reach of the
Birmingham Public Library can substantially improve the lives of
Birmingham citizens.

operations at the Birmingham Public Library (BPL). BPL adult and teen
volunteers assist with a number of functions throughout the system, most
of which are outlined in the

meet two goals: identify system-wide opportunities for volunteers to
contribute in an ongoing capacity, and to provide volunteers a
meaningful and rewarding volunteer experience. Volunteers are needed in
several areas including the following:
