Friends of the Southborough Library
Heritage Day Book and Cookie Sale a Success!
We thank all of you who helped, either through book donations or purchases, to make the Heritage Day Book Sale such a great success. We raised $2,468.00.
Our special thanks to the Teen Group, and to Ms. Naomi, who stepped in to manage the Cookie Sale this year. We are delighted to report that with only 2 weeks to organize, the Teens raised $206 at the Cookie Booth.
Funds raised by the Friends are used for the Library’s museum pass program, new furniture, speaker expenses, the library website maintenance and hosting fees, and programs for folks of all ages @ the Library!
Thank you, Friends of the Southborough Library.
The Friends of the Southborough Library will meet this month on Wednesday, November 16, at 10:00 a.m. at the Library. Please join us. All Friends members and newcomers welcome!

We would like to thank all of those who have made donations to the Friends of the Library – especially those donations in the names of Judy Williams and Jean Davis this summer.
A message from Friends of the Southborough Public Library President Andrea Moody: Once again, congratulations on a very successful June book sale! Thanks to the generous number of donations and to the hard work of so many of the Friends in sorting, organizing and manning the book sale, our two-day total was our best ever! As you know, this money is used for everything from the numerous museum passes we provide to our patrons, to children’s programming, tech support and even new furniture and fixtures for our beloved Southborough Library. A hardy congratulations, indeed!
A few housekeeping notes: we will meet this Wednesday, June 16th at 10:00 a.m., for our last meeting for the summer. We will discuss the book sale and other matters. Please dress down a bit as Prudence and I need some help still in clearing the book sale room.
Also, two officer positions are available and we urge all to consider contributing to the Friends in this essential way.Friends of the Southborough Public Library

The Friends of the Southborough Library was founded in 1972 as a non-profit organization to enrich the services of the Southborough Library to the community through volunteerism and fundraising.
The Friends sponsor programs for people of all ages, including poetry and author readings, lectures, a film series, craft workshops and musical performers. Most events at the library are free. Friends’ funds help the library provide extras for the community, such as the museum pass program, adding special items to the library’s collection, electronic and multimedia equipment. The Friends raise funds through book sales and membership dues. Everyone is welcome to join. We have monthly meetings from March through June, and then in September and October.
Volunteer with the Friends
Help with book sale during the planning stage and on Sale Day. Assist at events, help plan author visits and more. There are tasks large and small. Stop by the Library and fill out a membership/volunteer application.
