The Friends of the Bloomfield Public Libraries is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to the support of the libraries through fundraising and advocacy. Our members are active users of the libraries and help raise community awareness and appreciation of their services and resources. We believe that excellent libraries are essential to our community.
The Friends support our libraries by making additional programs and resources possible. Recent Friends contributions range from robotic learning tools to a solar eclipse viewing event, from musical performances to author visits, from literacy programs for children to Teen Advisory Group meetings. Every year, the Friends also support the Summer Reading Program, offering activities and events for children, teens, and adults.
The Friends make this possible thanks to:
- Memberships and generous financial donations
- Book sales offering thousands of donated books and media
- Time and talent of exceptional volunteers – like you!
