Since 1984,
the Friends of the South Burlington Community Library have
been active in revitalizing library programs, library
materials and the library space through their membership
contributions, volunteer work and fundraising projects.
The Friends
are concerned citizens who believe a dynamic library is the
cornerstone to an educated, caring, and stimulating
community environment.
Through
membership dues, donations, and fundraising efforts the
Friends Organization makes significant contributions to
enhance the Community Library. The Friends sponsor the
Annual Baby Brunch, the Lifelong Learning Music Series, the
Sunday Afternoon Concert Series, and a variety of other
programs for children and adults. The Friends donate needed
library equipment and materials, supply refreshments for
library programs, contribute to staff enrichment
opportunities, and they beautify the library with year-round
and seasonal plants.
