| Samuel Clemens started this Library almost a century ago, joining individuals who believed in the goals, purpose and especially the need for a local library here in Redding. He would charge each of his friends one dollar when they visited him here in Redding, to help build and maintain the library.
Please consider becoming a “Friend of the Mark Twain Library”, our new name for members of the Mark Twain Library Association. To be more specific, a Friend of the Mark Twain Library in good standing is anyone who has made an annual appeal contribution in the past twelve month period.
Categories for Friends are as follows:

The contributions of the Friends of the Mark Twain Library go a long way toward providing our community with a gathering place which enriches our lives in many ways. They might be used for new bestsellers, compact disc recordings, video, DVDs or books on tape, the Summer Reading Program for children, large type books for seniors, and much, much more.
For those who are able, the Library has some special gift opportunities. They each come with special recognition.
