FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY   
Who We Are and What We Do

Libraries need Friends! The Friends of the Wendell Free Library is a  membership organization open to anyone who wishes to support and enhance the resources, services, and activities of the Library. You may join the Friends with a modest annual membership fee ($5 for an individual, $10 for a family).

The Friends promote the Library with a variety of fundraising and community-building activities. They publicize Library activities with an “occasional” Library Newsletter and maintain an active email list that keeps members up-to-date on Library events.

Many of the features of our new Library have been made possible with the support of the Friends. These include the beautifully appointed Herrick Meeting Room, including the HD projector, high quality audio sytem  and 10’ screen.
We can also thank the Friends for the library skylights, the computers internet access and the WIFI connection. Friends have also generously helped purchase books, magazines and DVDs and have supported many Library programs. Passes to many local museums are also brought to you by the Friends.

The Friends hold an annual membership meeting at which its Officers and Board of Directors are elected. This Board meets quarterly to plan activities. Current Officers of the Friends are: Helen Haddad, President; Laurel Facey, Vice-President; Margo Culley, Treasurer; Doug Dawson, Clerk. Other current members of the Board are Lisa Aubin, Adele Smith-Penniman, Linda Hickman, Chris Queen, Theo Bennett, and Laurie DiDonato. Phyllis Lawrence serves as liaison between the Friends and the Library Trustees.
