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.
Applications are available at the library circulation desk.
The annual book sale offers a very large collection of bargain-priced books, received from generous donors. For more information, click here . 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.
