Happy National Friends of the Libraries Week!

Our library couldn't do all the things we do without our Friends! (Friends of Dwight Foster Library). In the year 2026, the Friends donated $19,613.14 to the library to be used towards programming, explore passes, RFID wand, and more! We are grateful for their support to continue the library's mission.

A special thanks to our Friends who volunteer their time for book sales, outreach events, shelf reading, dusting, being a member of the Friends board, etc.!
