MLF SURVEY

The Memphis Library Foundation needs your input! Over the years, Memphis Public Libraries staff have observed that men are less likely to visit the library and access its resources as compared to women. We want to change that. Help us imagine more for our city and libraries by sharing your thoughts in this survey about programs for men and their families. Share your thoughts in MLF's survey before it closes August 31.

WAYS TO SUPPORT THE LIBRARY

The Memphis Library Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established in 1994, chartered as the Foundation for the Library. Its mission is to enhance the 18 Memphis Public Libraries by securing funding through grants and private support. Join with our libraries and make a contribution today to continue their life-changing work. Donate here today.
Did you know the Friends of the Library supports Memphis Public Libraries by volunteering their time, raising money, advocating for the library, and sponsoring programs? We coordinate two book sales a year, operate an online Amazon bookstore, and the Second Editions used bookstore at the Central Library.
