The Friends of the Library use funds from the Bookshop and Book Sales to support the Public Library Albuquerque and Bernalillo County programs, such as the Summer Reading Program, El Día de los Niños, staff development, community outreach, and many other offerings.

The Friends rely on the generous donations of books and other media from the community. Small donations can be dropped off at the local library branches and larger donations at the Main Library.
