ABOUT the FRIENDS
The Friends of the East Longmeadow Public Library, Inc. is an all volunteer group of individuals dedicated to fostering a love of libraries, books, and reading in the East Longmeadow Community. It is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization and membership dues, monetary donations, donated used books, etc. are tax deductible.
Although the Town of East Longmeadow and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts provide money to purchase most reading materials and technology, many of the programs you have come to love and expect are paid for by the Friends and local contributions. When you join our organization or make a one time gift, you make vital programs possible.

HELP RESTOCK - USED BOOKS CORNER
The Friends of East Longmeadow Public Library needs your help to restock the used book sales! The Friends invite you to donate new and gently used books for all ages - children, teens, and adults - to support our ongoing sales. We gladly accept both hardcover and paperback books, but please avoid donating textbooks, old encyclopedias, VHS cassette or magazines.
Due to limited storage space, we kindly ask that you bring only one box of materials at a time. Donations can be made at the Circulation Desk during open library hours.
​
All proceeds from the Friends book sales directly benefit library programs. Your contributions make a difference in our community. Thank you for your support!
Stay in the KNOW!
