Who Are We
The Friends of the Barrington Public Library are a non-profit organization of volunteers who make big things happen - quietly, consistently, and with heart.
The Friends fund over 88% of the library’s programs. And the best part: this contribution comes from you - generous book donors, enthusiastic shoppers, dedicated volunteers, memberships and contributors.
Impact
From speaker series and concerts to film screenings, author talks, workshops, and art exhibits… to Museum Passes, Makerspace Studio, Express Books and more.
The Friends support programs to spark creativity, lifelong learning, and connection, ensuring a wide range of educational and cultural initiatives remain accessible to everyone.
