WELCOME!

In 1951, a father's gift in honor of his son helped build the Bezazian Library.

Today, Bezazian is one of the busiest and most popular of Chicago's 81 library branches.

Our goal is to help keep it that way.

We're the Friends of Bezazian Library.

Our 2025 book sale raised $7,949 to support Bezazian!! Learn more...

Thank you! We couldn't have done it without you!

Know a Little Free Library that could use some books?

We have unsold book looking for a good home. Stop by the Bezazian auditorium and pick up a bag labeled "LFL" (Little Free Library), then show your LFL (and neighborhood readers) some love.
