The mission of the Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes is to protect resources and heighten visitor experiences in partnership with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The publications sold through our online bookstore provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the Lakeshore's history, ecology, and recreational opportunities.

The Friends is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Any financial surplus from the sale of these publications is used to support projects in the National Lakeshore.
