Friends of the Library Programs
The Friends of the Library plan and sponsor a number of public programs of enrichment each year. These include lectures, demonstrations, performances, and recitals. All programs are free and open to the public.
In addition, the Friends sponsor several programs each year for children.
Most programs are in the Library’s Community Room. Click here for directions to the Library. If you enter the Library through the main entrance, the Community Room is just inside the main entrance doors to the right. If you enter the Library through the Highland Avenue entrance, the Community Room is on the lower level on the opposite side of the building.
