Friends of the Library

friends_logo_0_0.jpgThe Friends of Stowe Free Library is a non-profit organization with the mission to help support the collections and programs of the Stowe Free Library. In particular, the mission of the Friends is to foster close relations between the Stowe Free Library and the Stowe community by developing human and financial resources, sponsoring activities and programs, and promoting knowledge of Library resources.

 

Since its inception in the spring of 2006, the Friends of the Library have:

  • Continued the successful summer book sale
  • Begun an annual plant sale
  • Added over $40,000 to the Library’s materials budget, for new books, audio books, DVDs, children’s exploratory kits, and more
  • Provided the Library’s subscription to BookPage, the popular monthly book review magazine, free to our patrons
  • Continued to support the Face to Face: Meet the Author series
  • Expanded the Library’s children’s programming
  • Expanded access to the Library’s downloadable audio book collection
  • Raised significant funds through special events, such as a sold-out benefit featuring local performer Rusty DeWees and the Arts & Letters benefit in cooperation with the West Branch Gallery
