The Mark Twain Library Association is a private, non-profit corporation providing free public library services to the town of Redding. Roughly 60% of its operating budget is funded by an annual grant from the town of Redding; the remaining 40% is raised by volunteers led by a 14 member Board of Trustees.

Individuals who donate to the library’s annual appeal or who make other monetary contributions during a given calendar year are identified as “Friends of the Library.” They also become members of the Association for that year and are invited to participate in the library’s annual meeting.
