The Friends of the Library do our best to support the Willimantic Public Library!

We do this by not only raising funds, but by organizing programs outside of the Library that promote literacy. From setting up Little Libraries around town to giving away books at Farmer's Markets, we want to instill a love of reading in children!

If you'd like to help us in our mission, consider joining or donating. Learn more by visiting our page on the Library's website!

Do you know what the goals of the Friends of the Library are?

We have a few goals. We want to raise awareness about services and resources that WPL has, as well as its needs. We also work year-round to raise funds for programs, books, equipment, and any other assistance the Library needs.

You can help us help the Library by donating, either through PayPal or Venmo. Just visit our page on the WPL website and scroll to the bottom. Thank you in advance!
