Great communities need great
libraries. Great libraries need Friends. 

The Friends of the Library supports more than 85% of Barrington Library's programs through fundraising and memberships. 

Each year, the Friends sponsors hundreds of programs for adults and children as well as lectures, concerts, and other special events.

Our Annual

Thank you!!

Annual Fall Book Sale

November 15, 16, 17, 2024

The Fall Book Sale was a resounding success!! ​

 

The Circle of Giving

New homes were found for so many books! 

Patrons of all ages attended and discovered treasures - teachers, grandparents, non-profit community groups, and people from all over RI.

We often overhear people who attend the sale with a book subject in mind, and walk out with armfuls of books in all genres!

"I came in to browse and found books on poetry, philosophy, and Opera CDs."

 

The circle of donated books, gratefully received and offered for sale, ensures patrons leave with great finds. The proceeds from these sales support our Library's programs, benefitting the whole community! 

Our Impact 

The Friends raise funds to support library programs and many important services made available to library users including our Museum Pass Program, Summer Reading, Makerspace Studio, online access to The Providence Journal, our Community Puzzle, and much more.
