Who Are the Friends?
The Friends of the Harborfields Public Library is a non-profit organization that has been supporting the library since 1970. They are a group of dedicated volunteers who work in cooperation with the Library to provide financial support for programs, special projects, and items that further enhance library services to the community.
There are several programs offered at the library that are totally or partially supported by the Friends membership dues, fundraising activities, and the proceeds from the Friends' Little Book Shop. These programs include the Sunday Concert Series, Adult, Teen and Children's Summer Reading Programs, and other special programs throughout the year.
The Friends meet on a monthly basis. Meeting dates are announced in the Library Newsletter. Your membership in the Friends entitles you to receive preferential registration for special Friends-sponsored events. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping the Harborfields Public Library!
