Programs We Support

Friends of the Sammamish Library are a dedicated group of community members who volunteer their time to support our library. We sponsor and supplement many programs the library offers for children, teens, and adults with funds we raise through selling used books donated by the community. We offer an ongoing book sale at the library, in addition to three larger sales each year.

Membership fees and monetary donations also support our programs. Below are examples of just some of the events we’ve made possible.
