Friends of Hackley Public Library is a nonprofit organization established in 1973 to support Hackley Public Library, stimulate interest in reading and literacy, help promote the Library's services, and enhance the cultural life of the Muskegon, Michigan, area community.  We are an active group of community volunteers with a strong 40-plus year history of successful fund raising for library projects and programs.

Friends are good stewards of our  126-year-old historic building.
Examples of our past projects:
  • $190,000 for the acquisition and renovations of the   Torrent House    where the Local History and    
                        Genealogy Department currently resides.
  • $120,000 to restore the Library's stained glass windows.
  • $104,000 for renovations in the Youth Services Department.
  • Friends most recent campaign was to raise  funds to "reinvent" the Library's lower level into a community gathering space for library programs and for use by community groups.  Come check it out!
​We provide $20,000 each year to support hundreds of free programs for children and adults, including programs that focus on early literacy, history, and music, as well as technology classes and author visits.  Friends also supports cultural enrichment in Muskegon through the annual Charles H. Hackley Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities.

          What Our FRIENDS Are 
​           Saying

"I love the 2nd Hand Prose Bookstore for gently used books, both hardbound and paperback, all very reasonably priced! They also have several very nice items for purchase, such as a great sturdy shopping bag, nice brass commemorative bookmark,, a large poster of the library, coffee mug and a wonderful laser-etched brick that actually came from the library during renovations. Even my children love to shop there for inexpensive fun books to read as well as for Birthday, Christmas or other special occasion  gifting ideas "
