Meet a Friend and Join Us!

It's time for the annual membership drive of the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library.

If you enjoy the amazing library resources available in Cambridge, you can help support all the programs, events, and neighborhood branches you appreciate most by becoming a member; if you're already a member, thank you and don't forget to renew for 2013.

Come to the library this weekend or next to meet a Friend and sign up in person! Board members of the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library will be at the main branch in the afternoons Saturday, Dec. 8 and Sunday, Dec. 9th and again next Saturday, Dec. 15 and Sunday, Dec. 16th to sign up new and renewing members and to share information about the Friends and how the membership contributions support our Cambridge libraries.

About The Cambridge Public Library

The Cambridge Public Library and its six branches serve as a doorway to opportunity, self-development and recreation for all its residents, and as a forum where they may share ideas, cultures and resources among themselves and with people around the globe. The free availability of information, the lively interaction of people, and the open exchange of ideas animate and extend the democratic mission of the library.
