Our Mission Statement: The Friends of Upper Dublin Public Library, a non-profit volunteer organization, stimulates public interest in our library & supplements funding to support the cultural, educational, and special needs of the library.

We provide funding for many library’s programs and needs: Summer Reading Programs, the Museum Pass Program, Continuing Adult Education Classes, Little Free Libraries, the monthly Book Page, and more.
