Friends of the Easton Public Library

Join the Friends of the Easton Public Library!

That Easton should have so substantial a library is astonishing. With our relatively small rural population, it would seem unlikely that we could sustain a contemporary and useful library, and a new building to house it.

In fact, the Easton Public Library thrives with the help of the Friends of the Easton Public Library, a volunteer membership organization that helps in myriad ways to make the Library a vibrant focal point of our community. With the help of the Friends, the Library is a source of both intellectual activity and entertainment in Easton. The contributions of the Friends are too diverse and numerous to describe. A sample. . .

  • Extensive contributions to the collection and to the facilities themselves.
  • The annual Book Parade and Children's Holiday Party.
  • The annual paperback and hardcover book sales.
  • Programs, exhibits, speakers, educators, artists, authors, entertainers and musicians.
  • Student writing contests.
  • The classic film series.
  • The "Raise a Reader" program.
  • All of these contributions and more were made possible by volunteers--community residents like you--who recognize the importance of the Library to Easton--who recognize that it thrives only with the support of volunteers to assist the professional staff.

As a member of the Friends you can participate in extensive activities and serve your library and your community in ways that serve you and your family.

Without libraries . . . without books to record each generation's ideas . . . each generation would have to reinvent the world.

If libraries are important-- and in a town like Easton our library is very important--then supporting the library, and helping with its programs, is a responsibility and a privilege.
