Reading and literacy are a primary determinant of success. When you donate to the Friends, you help people of all ages explore, learn and connect with their community every day through the Library's programs.
Now, more than ever, the Friends needs your support! The Loveland Public Library's funding has been cut dramatically. These cuts will result in reduced hours, loss of programs, and much more. Our library is an essential part of our community, offering people free access to literature, trainings, meeting space, technology, learning programs, and many other vital services.
When you make a donation to the Friends, you are directly supporting our library and its efforts.

-- Diane Lapierre, Former Loveland Public Library Director
I LOVE Loveland Library! Everyone feels welcome and included. The teen lounge is especially cool as it is a safe, helpful and educational place for kids to hang out and play games. The staff is so helpful. Last visit they were playing records. I am excited to better learn technology through library services. In the past my kids took classes to learn 3D printing and code. Thank you for all you do! -- Grateful Loveland Family
I discovered the 3D printers upstairs. I learned all about how to make 3D printed creations. I was interested in the case that had all the things that were made by other people and it gave me ideas on what to make when my dad and I go back to try the printer. I would like to come back and make a dragon like the ones in my books. -- Wyatt Box-McDowell (Kids 0-10)
I want to be an honorary Lovelander: I'm so impressed by the way you all create community and make things happen.
-- Presenter at Poetry Workshop co-sponsored by the Friends
To support and advocate for the Loveland Public Library and its mission "to inform, enrich and inspire a strong, engaged community". The Friends generate current and long-term funding through volunteer involvement.
Since our formation in 1988, the Friends of the Loveland Public Library has focused our all-volunteer power on fundraising and advocacy. We fund and sponsor programs that engage people of all ages with the array of resources and technology available at our Library, to help our growing community - especially children, teens and families - increase their literacy skills. We achieve that mission primarily through sales of donated books, attracting thousands of customers and generating more than half our annual revenue.
Loveland Loves to Read is our annual One Book, One Community program. Each year, community members come together through the reading and discussion of a common book.
