Friends of the Edwards Public Library Annual Membership Form [PDF]

The Friends of the Edwards Public Library is a non-profit organization open to all members of the community whose purpose is to support, promote, and assist the Library. Begun in 1994, the Friends continue today to provide for materials, projects and events whose costs cannot be met by the Library's budget.

Last year, with money raised through the annual membership drive and by the book and bake sale held each May, the Friends purchased books and computers for the adult and children's room, a pass to the Eric Carle Museum, and a television and VCR/DVD player. The Friends also provided refreshments for the Library's monthly reading series, The Voice.

If you would like to join the Friends, print and fill out our membership form and enclose a check made out to the Friends of the Edwards Public Library. Send to:

Book Drive now in Progress!

Our book drive is now in progress at Southampton Edwards Public Library for the annual book sale, Saturday, May 19, 2007.

The Friends of the Library provide materials for projects and events whose costs cannot be met by the Library's budget. The annual Book & Bake Sale fundraiser, held at the Library, is presented in conjunction with the "Spring into Southampton" community event held this year on May 19, 2007. For more information about the book sale call 413-527-9480 or email martha@hearth.com.

We are collecting books now until May 11, 2007. The Friends are happy to accept new or gently used books, CDs or DVDs. They are not able to accept musty or moldy books (including those that have been in basements. Sadly moldy books can endanger the library's collection.) as well as magazines, textbooks, condensed books or encyclopedias.

Have too many books? We will pick them up! Call 413-527-9480 and leave a message for the Friends. If you have questions about what can be accepted, please contact the Library at the above telephone number, or email edwards@cwmars.org.
