The Friends raise money for library programs and services. Their contributions bridge a critical gap between municipal funding and philanthropic donations that make up the library's budget. Many of the programs and services that you love the most are sponsored by the Friends.

Your donations directly support the Fiske Free Library and are tax-deductible.
