Proceeds from the Friends of Thayer Public Library fundraisers and book sales fund projects such as:

Programs & Projects – Every year the Friends sponsor special programs to enrich your library experience for children, teens, and adults. Over the last few years, the Friends were able to fund emergency repairs to the elevator, a new security system, the lovely gardens surrounding the parking area, landscaping services, gutter repairs, and the children’s room. In the future, we plan to sponsor One Braintree, One Book and lighting changes.

Used Book Sale – Purchase gently used books at bargain prices at the ongoing book sale on the Lower Level of the library. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation of books or recent magazines.

Friends Café – Relax with a drink and snack and even some quiet conversation in the Friends’ Café on the Main Level of the Library.

Gardens – Take the time to enjoy the beautiful flower gardens the Friends planted along Washington Street.
