Who we are... Initiating and assisting with volunteer projects in the Norwalk Public Library, like the Art Workshops for kids in the South Norwalk Branch and student art exhibits at Belden Avenue. Sponsoring guest authors and lecturers for free evening programs. Organizing library book sales to raise funds for special Library needs not provided for in the budget. Publishing a newsletter with up-to-date information on Library and Friends activities. Friends volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Join us! Proceeds from our Book Sales have gone to... The South Norwalk Branch Library 21st Century Fund -- we've contributed $25,000 to help purchase computer equipment and furnishings (www.snlibraryfund.org) Underwriting the cost of the Library's Annual winter Concert Series. We've purchased Pentium PC's and Printers for public use as well as special-use equipment. Supporting programs and prizes for children, staff appreciation lunches, and help with grounds maintenance. We arranged for the Mural in the Main library and paintings for the Children's Library. Want to help? Come join us! Make new friends! You may be surprised how satisfying your involvement can be!
