For all of this , WE THANK YOU. "WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS", for reaching out to those in need. It means so very much to the families, and the children..

Our next "BIG BOOK SALE" will be "May 22nd", please mark your calenders. We ask you this very special request, could you ask your church, maybe do service hours, ask your school principle, your workplace, do it as a team, a scout project, a neighborhood project, or even a family project, gather as many items as you possibly can for the library sale. This would be a great "Community Project" as many people use the library for whatever reason, and this is how the Friends earn the $$$ to help fund, park,museum, zoo, and aquarium passes, programs, activities for children and adults also supplies for the library. We are all part of the Community. "LET'S WORK TOGETHER"!!! TEAM WORK, IT'S GOOD, IT"S FUN, IT"S A HELPING HAND !!! TAKE IT ON AND CHALLENGE YOURSELF!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Who are the "Friends of the Library"?
The "Friends of the Woonsocket Harris Public Library" is a non-profit
organization designed to stimulate community interest in library services
and to support the library in providing these services.
"Friends" are those citizens who regard the library as a vital
information agency, a cultural center and a major educational institution.
They know that a community is a better place in which to live if it has
a first rate library.
What do the "Friends" do?
Through a program of volunteer, promotional, and fund-raising
activities, they help to acquire important materials and equipment beyond
the confines of the library's regular operating budget. They also aim to
inform the community of the library's resources, services and needs.
In the past, the "Friends" have funded passes to Capron
Park Zoo, Ecotarium, Mashantucket Pequot Museum, Museum of Work & Culture,
Plimoth Plantation, Providence Children's Museum, Roger Williams Park
Zoo, and Slater Mill Historic Site. They have also purchased
puppets, holiday books, and educational toys for the children's room, book
trucks, new flags, bulletin boards, a VCR, a CD storage cabinet, book racks,
and more.
Goals of the "Friends"
With your help the "Friends" hope to accomplish many goals. Among
those may be:
continue funding family passes to area parks and museums
sponsor special events and adult and children's programming
purchase books and software for the children's department
purchase furniture for the adult and children's departments
