The Denver Public Library Friends Foundation enriches our community by building support and raising money to enhance the library's programs and services.

2018 Book Sale Volunteers

Volunteer With Us

We have a bookselling enterprise housed at Denver Central Library. We have a bookshop, a book donation processing center, an online storefront and two large book sale events a year. Volunteers and interns from Denver Public Schools help us run the bookshop and sort our books.

Red Chair Bookshop

We run a small bookshop at Central Library, Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Our collection is eclectic and in great shape. Proceeds benefit Denver Public Library.
