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 of the Wendell Free Library, Inc. is a 501(c)-3 organization and all contributions to the Friends are tax-deductible. You may join the Friends and/or make a contribution at the following address: P.O. Box 133, Wendell, MA 01379.
Do “step up” and make public your support of our magnificent Library!
