Friends Meeting Minutes

The Friends of the Hopkinton Town Library is a nonprofit group that is dedicated to supporting and enriching the services and facilities of the Library through its volunteer efforts. The Friends provide the framework and coordination for much of the volunteer activities. Membership fees are minimal and go directly to library programs and services. The Friends meet four times a year: September, November, February, and April. The group sponsors the annual speakers series, the annual book sale, and more.

VOLUNTEER and be a FRIEND

Many Friends are also regular volunteers at the Library. Volunteers have always had an important role in the growth and success of Hopkinton's libraries--from the Hopkinton Village Library, to the Bates Library, and now to the Hopkinton Town Library on Houston Drive. Thanks to the efforts of many people in town, the Library facility is available to the public mornings, afternoons and evenings, with a wide variety of offerings for all ages. The Community Room has allowed the Library to greatly expand its program of events and lectures, and provided the town with a valuable meeting space. With these wider offerings, there is an even greater need for volunteers. And, as a Friend of the Hopkinton Town Library—you can help!
