How can I get involved with the Friends?

We would love to have you join us! Working with the Friends is a great way to meet people, and make new friends, get involved with the community and be around books. If you are seeking a fun and rewarding experience you can volunteer your time to help with an event, provide technology or public relations support, or become a member of the Friends board.

For more information about joining the Friends please contact us at friendsofthemashpeelibrary@gmail.com

With the generous donations from our community, the Friends have created an endowment fund to support many Library’s services, collections and programs.

Our contributions have provided:

• Buildings and grounds beautification

• Summer enrichment programs for all ages

• Special Events including author events and the annual Selander Mini Golf Open

• Purchase of equipment, ebooks and devices, items for the “Library of Things” and more

Who Are the Friends?

We have an active board of directors, amazing civic and corporate supporters, and many dedicated members.
