Bainbridge Island Friends of the Library

The Bainbridge Island Friends of the Library (BIFOL) supports Bainbridge Public Library by raising money through book sales. The books sold by the Friends of the Library are donated by generous Bainbridge Islanders. BIFOL holds two to three book sales per month, as well as selling donated books online.

This past year, the Friends focused on increasing the Bainbridge Public Library Endowment Fund which will ensure funds for ongoing library program and facilities needs. Further, BIFOL provided significant support for the children’s, teens’ and adult programs Examples are the summer learning program, the children’s story time, maintenance of the salt water aquarium in the children’s area, support for the ever-popular Great Decisions programs and other Library U events, Friends also supports library staff with funds for materials that they request.
