Who Are the Friends?
A community organization dedicated to supporting the Cambridge Community Library.
About the Friends
All persons or organizations interested in being "Friends of the Library" are welcome as members. The Friends of the Cambridge Community Library is a volunteer organization that exists to support the Cambridge Community Library and the services it provides to the community.
Membership dues along with proceeds from fundraising events and donations are used to help finance library programs and services, purchase new materials, and provide a nest egg for future needs of the library. The Friends also advocate for the library and its importance to the community.
We welcome new members and volunteers! The membership year runs from April 1 to March 31.
