Help Us Serve Our Community

Friends of the Library is a fund raising and volunteer support group for the Woonsocket Harris Public Library. Friends operate an ongoing used book sale at the front of the library. Money raised by the Friends of the Library is distributed to the Library to support programs, projects, and passes that might not otherwise be funded. Support for the library can be expressed through volunteering, outreach, and fundraisers.

This organization is committed to creating public support and awareness of our library and it’s programs. Yearly memberships are available for individuals, students, seniors, and benefactors. Those interested in Friends of the Library can call 401-769-9044 for more information. Please contact the Library Director for more information.
