Founded in 1956, The Friends currently number more than 300 members who are dedicated to supporting and developing the Haverhill Public Library. The Friends welcome all those who value the role the library can play in enriching the lives of everyone in the community, young and old, and who believe that a public library is worth supporting.

What Do The Friends do?
The Friends provide gifts to the library which are purchased through fundraising activities such as Book Sales. We also provide volunteer support, host cultural events, and operate the Friends Gift Shop. All members receive an informative newsletter twice a year.

In the past few years The Friends have raised money for:

Marilyn Goldberg and Noreen Grady assist Mike Chase at Book Sale
