Library to Library Pen Pal Club

Welcome to the Library to Library Pen Pal Club!

We’re excited to announce that our library is now part of the Library to Library Pen Pal Club: a nationwide program pairing people of all ages with pen pals at libraries across the country. It’s completely screen-free, and because all letters are routed through participating libraries, your home address stays private.

Fill out our Google Form to get started!

How the Club Works

  • Privacy First: Only your first name and last initial are shared. Letters travel from your library to your pen pal’s library. Your home address stays completely private.
  • Age-Appropriate Matching: You’ll be paired with a pen pal in a similar age range.
  • Open to Everyone: Kids, teens, and adults are all welcome to participate.
  • Supplies: Please bring your letter to the library in a stamped envelope — if you need help with supplies, just let us know!

FAQ

The club is open to all ages: kids, teens, and adults. Participants are matched with pen pals in a similar age range.

Yes, you can opt out at any time. Just contact the library and we’ll take care of it.

Anything! You might introduce yourself, share your hobbies, talk about your favorite movies or music, describe where you live, or ask your pen pal questions. There’s no wrong way to write a letter.

Younger first-time letter writers can use our All About Me page as a jumping off point!
