Friend Your Library

Posted

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 yellow membership application cards can be obtained at the circulation desk at Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence or at Riverside Library, 475 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside. Bring the completed form, with $10 per person, to either of those locations or mail your check to Friends of East Providence Public Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914. Membership dues help to provide special programs and events at the library.

Friends volunteer hundreds of hours preparing for bi-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.

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 3, from 6-8 p.m., the day before the sale opens to the public, October 4 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.
