The FriendShop is located on the third floor of the new and exciting downtown Seattle Public Library. The building is worth a visit and tour (ask at the information desk) but the gift shop is a REAL find! The space is filled with special items that are related to reading and books and travel and fun! Of course, postcards, books, pens and T-shirts and many other items feature the new library. But there are many other treasures such as jewelry, some made from typewriter keys, and the infamous Nancy Pearl Action figure! The shop specializes in items made by local crafts persons that you will find nowhere else. The FriendShop is staffed mostly by volunteers and the shop's proceeds support the special programs of the library. Stop by! You will come back again and again...the stock keeps changing.
