How to Help
Join us!
Support your library by joining ALFA (the Friends), donating books (after we re-open in the fall), volunteering, or all three. We would love to hear from you!
Your financial support helps fund programs and materials not otherwise covered by our operating budget, and ensures that we can continue to provide outstanding services to our patrons. You can make a donation in the form of either a gift or a memorial donation.
If you prefer to pay by check our mailing address is as follows:
Astor Library Friends Association
Astoria Public Library
1095 Duane Street, Astoria, OR 97103 (temporary mailing address)
Remember the Library in Your Estate Plan

From time to time we look for library enthusiasts to serve on our Board. Comfort with computers is a must, as is an eagerness to works alongside friends and neighbors for the benefit of our library and community. Please email us at info@astorlibraryfriends.org for more information.
The health of our civilization...and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.
