Friends of the Library
Mission Statement
The Friends of the Newbury Town Library is a volunteer organization dedicated to the enhancement of our library. We see our library as the cornerstone of our community and a vital resource center for patrons of all ages. The Friends generates awareness for programs and services, raises funds and supports the needs of our library that are not met due to the towns limited budget. The Friends is a vital source of income to provide invaluable programs, sevice and equipment to our library. Through fund raisers, dues collections and generous donations from our patrons, we are able to support the library by paying for the following :
Museum Passes
Equipment for adult, young adult and childrens programs
Computer hardware and software
Books, DVD and other materials
Author lecture series
Geneaology Programs
Overall maintenance that the library cannot afford
