Friends of the Library

YDL's Friends of the Library group supports YDL through fundraising and other volunteer activities. The Friends Shop, which is located on the first floor at YDL-Whittaker, stocks new and gently used books. The Friends group also stocks a self-service Book Nook at YDL-Michigan with a small selection of new and gently used books. If you have questions or are interested in volunteering in the Friends Shop, please email us.

  • Mission of Friends of the Ypsilanti District Library:

The group's meetings are held at 7 pm on the fourth Monday of every month at the YDL-Whittaker Board Room, Second Floor. Our Annual Meeting is also held in the YDL-Whittaker Board Room, Second Floor.
