April is National Volunteer Month—a time to honor the incredible individuals who give their time, talents, and energy to support the causes they care about. At the Friends of the Palm Springs Library, we’re proud to celebrate our dedicated volunteers who make a lasting impact on our library and the entire Palm Springs community.
Volunteers Make It Happen
The Friends of the Palm Springs Library is powered by volunteers. Whether organizing book sales, hosting community events, managing memberships, or advocating for library funding, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. Their passion helps ensure our library remains a vibrant, welcoming place for learning, discovery, and connection.
From behind-the-scenes tasks to public-facing roles, every volunteer contributes something vital. We see their generosity in action every day—and this month, we want to say thank you.

- Preserve and enhance our beloved Palm Springs Library
