Annual Report

Click to download the shared 2009 annual report of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library and the Saint Paul Public LibraryEvery year, The Friends produces an annual report summarizing the previous year's activities and finances, and recognizing contributors and donors. This year, we produced a shared annual report with the Saint Paul Public Library. It illustrates the many ways The Friends supported the Library, while the Library continued its exemplary service to the residents of Saint Paul.

Despite the recession, 2009 was a remarkable year for both the Saint Paul Public Library and The Friends. It is amazing what can be accomplished by working together to provide the best services and programming.
