Please join us on the evening of Wednesday, March 21st to get involved with the Friends of the Library group and support all branches of the Somerville Public Library. Come talk to current volunteers and meet the board members that run the Friends. We need book sorters, those interested in fundraising, social media and marketing, and suggestions of your own.
Who:
The Friends of the Somerville Public Library is a not-for-profit organization that helps the library and its branches to provide programs, services and materials not covered by the library's normal operating budget. It is 100% staffed by volunteers. More info at http://www.somervillepubliclibrary.org/aboutus/friends.html .
Or email: friendssomervillepubliclibrary@gmail.com
What:
The Friends provide funds for the popular Museum Passes program, license fees for movie screenings, co-sponsor Somerville Reads, and more so the Library can offer a variety of children's, young adult, and adult programs which range from puppet shows to poetry readings.
E.g. earlier this year we sponsored Jef Czekaj to paint the electricity box in-front of the library. Great job!
