About Friends of the Library

According to the release: The Friends of the Dwight Foster Public Library was founded more than 40 years ago to support the needs of the library and community by providing volunteer help and substantial financial support. The financial support allows the library to provide services and events that would not normally be available through their budget allotments. 

Joining and supporting the Friends of the Library is a way to personally support the library and its innovative programming supporting the community. 

The Friends organization points out that libraries today are no longer a building where one goes to simply just borrow a book. They are the hub of the community’s information and cultural resources. People and groups gather to learn and share, inform, and join in mutual projects, while others come to use resources to find a job or learn a new skill. Children still come to find books, but they also come to get craft projects and learn exciting new things. If it is important to the community, it probably runs through the library at some point, the release stated.
