About Us
Friends are individuals who recognize the library as a vital community information resource, cultural center, and major educational institution. As a group, we serve as the promotional and fundraising arm of the Attleboro Public Library.
Membership is open to all!
🙋 We are currently looking for volunteers!
The Friends of APL are looking for volunteers with experience creating flyers, marketing, event planning, and more.
Interested? Contact us at friendsoftheapl@gmail.com
Board members meet with the Library Director monthly to consider and make decisions regarding fundraising events, activities, and purchases.
Although there is no obligation to actively participate as a Friend, many members choose to serve on committees such as Technology, Fundraising, Events, and Membership.
We are happy to have you as a supporter of the Attleboro Public Library in any capacity.
