Friends of the Downey City Library

The Friends of the Downey City Library, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been serving the City of Downey and the surrounding communities since 1959.

We have been fortunate over time to be able to contribute as much as $30,000 a year from our fundraising activities to support the many library programs available to members of the community. Events such as Children's story time, visiting authors, family shows at the Downey Theater are enhanced by our contributions.
We operate The Friends Book Store inside the library, where we sell the best quality used books, greeting cards, magazines, textbooks, and more. We often have silent book auctions and special sales of DVD's & Blu-ray discs, VHS tapes and puzzles and more at amazing prices.
