Mentor and first president. Over the years, The Salem Friends have enrolled numerous families as members and boosters. Simply put, that means gifts to the Friends are tax deductible. Early on, Salem Friends were active in the campaign that resulted in the 1990-91 expansion and renovation of the library on Salem s Library Square. How We Got There Increasing membership is the one sure way to expand our support base.
Membership is open to any citizen, at any of several membership levels.

Friends and patrons donate hundreds of books, bringing them to the library in the summer months prior to the sale. Members sort, price, display and sell them to the public during Olde Salem Days. Proceeds benefit library activities and needs.
