Today is the day! On June 4 & 5, 2026, our Library is participating for the first time in NEPA Gives, a 24-hour online giving extravaganza for our whole region. Last year, NEPA Gives brought together nearly 250+ organizations to raise nearly $1.4 million, and we are excited to be a part of the movement this year! Your gift matters! On June 4 & 5, we invite you to join in and donate to Barrett Friendly Library (our legal name) on NEPAGives.org between 7:00 PM Thu & 7:00 PM Fri to help us reach our goal of $2500. All proceeds benefit library programs and services. We appreciate your support!
