Welcome to the Friends of New Gloucester Public Library! We are a non-profit group that supports the library by volunteering time and energy, advocating for the library, and raising funds to support the library and its community.

How to support the Friends of the New Gloucester Public Library: 

  1. Become a member. Help fund programming, books purchases, and encourage reading in our community. Membership is tax-deductible. 

  2. Volunteer. Work at book sales, on a specialized committee, bake sales, run a book group, offer a drawing class, make a presentation on downloading books or writing a resume—bring your ideas! 

  3. Make a donation. All donations are tax-deductible and you can donate directly through the PayPal link.

  4. Follow the Friends on Facebook and Instagram. Stay up to date on what the Friends are doing. 

  5. Speak up for the library. Let your local, state, and federal representatives know how important your library is to you, your family, and your community. 

Some of our recent efforts include:

  • Supporting book purchases for the library.

  • Raising funds through book sales, donations, and membership dues.   

  • Supporting summer reading programming and book clubs.

  • Beautifying the library grounds with gardens and a renovated community space.

  • Hosting a raised-bed vegetable garden class.

  • Participating in town events, such as the Community Fair and Tiny Timber tree lighting.
