Who we are:
The Friends of the Belmont Library are a non-profit organization that brings together people who view their local library as a treasury of knowledge, information, and entertainment. Friends of the Belmont Library is a tax deductible, charitable organization whose mission is to promote community support and use of the Belmont Library. Since its inception in 1974, Friends of the Belmont

Library has raised money through membership and book sales to sponsor library programs and cultural events for children and adults. Membership dues also pay for materials and equipment not supplied by the library budget. During the construction of the new Belmont library, Friends of the Belmont Library raised over $370,000 for furnishing the new library. The money was used for a $160,000 state-of the art sorting machine, check-out counters, and computers. You can join and become a member of Friends of the Belmont Library.

Belmont Library Improvement Project

We are excited to announce that the Belmont Library has an upcoming improvement project that will take place this spring. Belmont City Council approved the project at the City Council meeting on Nov. 26. Renovation activities for the 20,000 sq ft. facility will include new exterior and interior painting, new flooring, meeting room enhancements with new equipment, updated ergonomic staff workstations and some additional new furniture and shelving. Work is expected to begin in March and will require the library to close for approximately three to four months. During the closure, popular programs and services will be offered at alternative community locations, or at the San Carlos Library. In partnership with the San Mateo County Libraries and with generous funding from the Friends of the Belmont Library, the City of Belmont is excited about reinvigorating this wonderful library destination.
