Friends of the
Kent Memorial Library
The Friends of the Library are a group who are dedicated to supporting
the Kent Memorial Library.
The Friends sponsor special programs such as book discussion groups and the children's
summer
reading program. The Friends also provide the means to purchase new equipment for the
library and
new items for circulation. Funds come from donations and membership dues, but the major
source is
the annual Friends of the Library book sale in September.
Everyone is invited to join! The annual dues are $2 per person and $5 per family. Applications are available at the library circulation desk.
No time commitment is required, but if you'd like to become more involved, you can also...
Help at the monthly book collections

directors

Annual Meeting
In the Spring, the Friends hold an annual meeting that is open to the public. The treasurer's report is presented and new officers are elected. Following this brief business portion, a guest speaker or music group provides entertainment, and refreshments are served. The meeting is held at the Kent Memorial Library. Look for flyers advertising the next meeting!
