FRIENDS OF THE TOWNSEND PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Friends of the Townsend Public Library was established "to promote knowledge, stimulate interest and encourage participation in the functions, services and needs of the library." 

Through volunteer help and fundraising efforts, we have been able to support the improvement and expansion of library resources and services since 1967. 

The Friends of the Library meets each month (usually the first Monday of the month) in the Library from 7:30pm-9:00pm. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend. We would love to see you! 

The next meeting will to be :

Monday, TBA, 2008

The Friends of the Townsend Public Library would like to thank everyone wo donated plants to our very successful, Second Annual Friends of the Townsend Public Library Plant Sale.  We would especially like to thank Mahoney's Garden Center for their generous donations.
   Also we would like to thank the volunteers, including the National Honor Society students, who worked on the day of the sale setting up, selling plants and cleaning up.  We couldn't have done it without you!
   Thank you all and we look forward to having another wonderful sale next year.
