They say "one never can have too many friends..."

Mission

The Friends of the Millis Library is an independent organization that promotes the Library within the community by funding programs and services that would not be possible within the constraints of the Library budget.

How the Friends support MPL year round….

Numerous Museum Passes     On-Line Pass Reservation Software 

Adult Programs    Children’s Summer Reading Programs    Children’s Furniture

Book Bags for Doorstep Delivery to the Homebound Patron Program, and much, much more.

Why do Millis community members join the Friends of the MPL?  For all different reasons, of course! Here are a few:

 

"I love our library and try to support it in any way that I can”

 

"With the limited budget, our Library could use the help”

 

"Spending time with others who enjoy reading as much as I do – is really a value added reason to volunteer”

 

"Giving back to my community I think is a must in today’s world and I’ve chosen the library to share my talents”

 

Meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month, at 7p.m., at the Library, unless otherwise noted. 

Your attendance is greatly appreciated, but not a requirement of Membership.

Educational and entertaining programs are planned from September – June, which are free and open to the public.  Book Sale fundraisers (May and October) are held annually- book donations are always accepted and can be dropped off during Library business hours.
