FAL Fall Appeal is Underway!

Donate Now!

Annual supporters are the lifeblood
of FAL and we have just started our
fall annual appeal. COVID-19 has
placed many of our in-person fund-raising activities on hiatus. We look
to you to help us continue to support the programs and services of the
Alameda Free Library.
Our Online Book Sale is Live!

Shop Used Books
Visit our brand new online bookstore, and check back often to see new books as they are added!

Your purchases will help fund programs that support the Alameda Free Library.
Friends @ Home
Online Programming

Earlier this year, the Friends moved some of its most popular programs - namely, art docent talks and author events - to an online format that we're calling "Friends @ Home."

Check out our upcoming virtual programs on our Events page!
