WHY BECOME A “FRIEND”?
While we cooperate with the Board of the Free Library, we are a separate organization with more flexibility to acquire donations than libraries are legally allowed. Our fundraising—which supplements the library’s appeals—is vital to the library and helps it expand services in response to community’s needs.
AS A FRIEND YOU WILL HELP SUSTAIN AND IMPROVE OUR LIBRARY’S COMMUNITY SERVICES.
Some examples of our contributions include the wheel chair lift in the renovated library, library adult programing, new computers and software, the outdoor book drop, additional mobile book shelves, Steam Kits for circulation (children's department), a CD buffer/cleaner, a scanner for the 3D printer, Children's Tablets and more. We have donated over $60,000 in the last 5 years.
HOW IS JOINING THE FRIENDS DIFFERENT FROM ANSWERING A LIBRARY APPEAL?
We are a community of library patrons, an independent, non-profit, all-volunteer organization which supplements the appeals and fundraisers by the library itself. The library fills the operating budget, the Friends organization helps supply all the extras. Our help is crucial to maintaining, expanding, and enhancing the library experience and services in our community.
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I JOIN?
You may choose to offer only financial support, but many of us also help with our time and talents by volunteering at the library, program events, and fundraisers.
Come to one of our meetings or email us at friends.nhslibrary@gmail.com
BOARD MEETINGS ARE HELD EVERY MONTH ON THE 2ND WEDNESDAY FROM 6-7:30pm AT NEW HOPE BOROUGH HALL'S COMMUNITY CENTER. DATE WILL BE POSTED ON THE HOME PAGE.
