FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

The Friends of Thayer Public Library is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization whose mission is to support the library through cultural and educational activities. The Friends help fund library programs and services, as well as improvements to the library facility and grounds.  All dues, gifts, and memorial gifts to the Friends go directly to support the library.

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 the 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. The Friends fund the free and discount museum passes offered by the library, as well as sponsoring popular library services such as Ancestry.com and Kanopy.

Book Sale Donations – Please consider making a tax-deductible donation of books or recent magazines. The Friends of Thayer Public Library Book Sale received an Honorable Mention in the 2017 Reader’s Choice Award for Best Bookstores.

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