FRIENDS OF THE NEWSTEAD PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Friends of the Library is a non-profit group of community members who believe that an excellent library is essential to their community and work to promote and assist the library. The Friends fundraise primarily through their semiannual used books sales. These funds are then used to purchase special items for the library and for community programming and events. To become a “Friend,” stop in the library and fill out a brief form. Membership is $2 for students and seniors, $3 for an individual, $5 for a family, and $50 for lifetime. One of the perks to becoming a friend is entrance to preview night of the book sale! ABITIBI RECYCLING PROGRAM
