Friends of Library Reference

Great communities need great
libraries. Great libraries need Friends.

The Friends of the Library supports more than 80% of Barrington Library's projects 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.
