Who are the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library?
We are interested residents who contribute to the Library in important ways. Government funding alone cannot finance all the cultural events that our community currently enjoys. The Friends of the Library — an independent 501c(3) not–for–profit organization — provides the money needed for these additional programs. Please join us and become a member. There are plenty of opportunities for interested volunteers!
