Mission: Stronger libraries for stronger communities
Vision: As an influential voice for libraries, we will ensure the Saint Paul Public Library and libraries in Minnesota, nationally and internationally are vital centers of engaged, educated and diverse communities.
Values: The Friends is guided in its work by • Creative, innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to challenging issues; • Inclusivity and integrity in all its activities; • Responsible stewardship of its resources in perpetuity. Through this work, The Friends serves as a national model for its unique, comprehensive support of the Saint Paul Public Library.
The Friends has a nonprofit consulting group, Library Strategies, that provides services to libraries and library organizations across the country and internationally. The Friends also leads the Minnesota Book Awards and, because of its statewide, year-round outreach promoting literacy, reading and writing, serves as the Minnesota Center for the Book—the state affiliate of the National Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. The Friends is the only library support organization in the country to be honored with this designation.
