Welcome Friends

Funds are raised with two used book sales each year, a gala social event, SweetNight, in February (see SweetNight page), and donations to our General, First Friends, Building Legacies, Anna Duffield, and Priscilla’s Book Shelf Funds.  A detailed explanation of each fund can be seen by clicking on the specific fund button in the left column of this page.
The Friends of the Library Foundation promotes reading and learning through the annual Loveland Loves to Read program, the Storyteller in the Parks program underwritten by SweetNight, and Loveland Lights program celebrating winter holiday traditions.

The Friends of the Library encourages use of the library by publishing a bi-monthly newsletter detailing the activities at the library.

Volunteers are necessary to accomplish our tasks.  Welcome.

Thank You!

We are pleased to report that we have reached our goal of $2,000,000 in our Capital Campaign to support expansion and renovation of the Loveland Public Library.  We are deeply grateful to our donors - corporations, foundations, groups, families and individuals.   Donor gifts range from $2 to $400,000.   Anonymous donors contributed over $3,700 via the blue jugs at the library and/or by purchasing books at our used book sales.    Others are continuing to contribute through the brick paver project which will continue through August 31.
