History
The Friends of Neill Public Library organization was established in 1980 with Terence Day serving as its first President, and incorporated in 1984. Over the following decades, FNPL membership has significantly grown in number. We have helped with major projects, including the Heritage Addition to Neill Public Library completed in 2004. We continue to assist our library as needs arise.
Today, we continue that tradition by raising funds, organizing volunteers, and serving as ambassadors for the library throughout the community.
What We Do
Collections – FNPL provides funds to purchase new and replacement items for the library, including both physical and electronic items.
Programs and Projects – We provide funding for many of your favorite library activities and programs for children, teens, and adults. Program support includes sponsorship of the popular story times for children and summer reading prizes.
Some of our most recent projects include:
- library patio shade sail installation
- the Sarah M. Moore Memorial Nook in honor of our FNPL board member and long-time library volunteer
- a new circulation desk inside the library
- furniture in the children’s and young adult areas
- more visible lettering on the outside of the library building

Partnership with Neill Public Library
Friends of Neill Public Library is an independent nonprofit organization that works closely with library staff and the City of Pullman. We do not set library policy or manage operations, but we provide financial and volunteer support that allows the library to offer more programs, materials, and services than public funding alone can provide.
