Support Your Library – Be a Friend
Friendship can be shown in many ways – through support, even in challenging times, outreach, trust, and shared interests. Friendship does not only apply to individuals. The Friends of the East Providence Public Library provide all of this and more to the patrons and staff of
Weaver Library, Riverside Library and Fuller Creative Learning Center,
as well as to the larger community who participate in the many programs
and events held at those locations.
Friends volunteer hundreds of hours preparing for bi-annual book sales
and Farmer’s Markets. They donate hundreds of books each year to local
organizations to promote free access to reading materials for everyone.
They contribute thousands of dollars annually to help provide
educational and fun activities and programs for people of all ages in
our community.
The Friends have set a goal of 300 members this year. Help us reach that
goal by joining now. As an added bonus, your membership card provides
entry to the preview for the Fall Book Sale on Thursday, October 13,
from 6-8 p.m., the day before the sale opens to the public, October 14
to 16. Sign up now to avoid waiting in line on preview night.
Neon pink membership forms can be obtained at the circulation desk at
Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence or at Riverside
Library, 475 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside. Bring the completed form,
with $5 per person, to either of those locations or mail your check to
Friends of East Providence Public Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East
Providence, RI 02914. Membership dues help to provide special programs
and events at the library. Your support is greatly appreciated.
