Friend Your Library
The new year for Friends of East Providence Public Library begins on October 1. If you are currently a member, it is time to renew. If you are not yet a member, we welcome you to join us.
Bright orange membership application cards can be obtained at the Welcome Desk at Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence, Riverside Library, 475 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside and Fuller Creative Learning Center, 260 Dover Avenue, East Providence. Fill out the card and give it to a staff member, with annual dues of $10 per person. Membership cards will also be available at the Fall Book Sale October 2 to 5. Membership dues help to provide special programs and projects at the library.
Friends volunteer hundreds of hours preparing for semi-annual book sales and events. They donate hundreds of books each year to local organizations to promote free access to reading materials for everyone. They contribute thousands of dollars annually to help provide educational and fun activities and programs for people of all ages in our community. They annually pay for museum passes to allow community residents to visit educational venues for free or at a reduced rate. This year, the Friends provided funding for five sewing machines for Fuller Creative Learning Center and contributed $20,000 to the redesign of Weaver Library to enhance patron experience.
You can be part of this community-focused group. As an added bonus, your membership card provides entry to the preview sale night for the Fall Book Sale on Thursday, October 2, from 6-8 p.m., the day before the sale opens to the public, October 3 to 6, as well as to preview night for the Spring Book Sale. This is the best time to buy the best books. Sign up now to avoid waiting in line on preview night.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
