The Friends now have a blog! Join them at www.fopl.blogspot.com
The Friends augment the work of the Library Board of Trustees in
gaining support for library improvement, creating public awareness
of the role of the library in the community, providing financial
support beyond the library's budget limits, encouraging gifts and
endowments to the library, and supporting legislation important to
libraries.
The Friends sponsor several fundraisers each year, including a book & bake sale every spring & fall, an annual basket raffle
and an annual mystery night.
Yearly dues are $10 for an individual membership or $50
for a corporate sponsor. Membership is renewed each January. To join, stop in the library for an

Volunteers accomplish many functions at the library.
Some of the tasks they assist with are: making phone calls,
processing books, leading adult and youth programs, and keeping the building neat in
appearance, both indoors and out. Many young people complete
their community service requirements by helping in the children's
room.

Donations of materials are accepted during open hours with the
understanding that they may or may not be added to the
collection, sold or discarded. We do not accept magazines or encyclopedias. All materials must be in good, usable or saleable, condition. The library does not provide evaluation of gifts for tax
deduction or other purposes but will provide a receipt if desired.
If you are interested in making a monetary donation, or donating in a loved one's memory, please speak
with the Library Director, Deborah Wall, at 781-293-6771 or dwall@sailsinc.org.
