Support Your Library

The Davenport Public Library needs and welcomes your support to maintain and grow the margin of excellence offered at the Library. A tough economy has caused us to find new ways to stretch our funds. Please join others who have committed to securing a strong future for Davenport by funding relevant and innovative services that only the Library can offer.

Join The FRIENDS

The FRIENDS of the Davenport Public Library serve as the Library's Foundation and provide essential support for Library materials, projects, and programs. The FRIENDS operate bookstores at both the Fairmount Branch and the Eastern Branch, and also work on special fundraising events and projects. An annual membership is a great way to become a supporter of the Davenport Public Library.
