Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Library was founded in 1989 to support and promote library services and activities. The Friends raise money to supplement the library budget through a yearly membership campaign and special events, such as the book sale that takes place each June. During the past year, the Friends have contributed generously towards the library's book budget and automation fund. In addition, they purchased a new computer, co-sponsored a book discussion group and provided refreshments for all the art show openings. Their newsletter, Bookmark, is published quarterly and is mailed to Roxbury residents. To join the Friends, mail a donation to Friends of the Roxbury Library, P.O. Box 74, Roxbury, CT 06783.
