The Friends raise funds through memberships and our renowned book sales. Members receive news highlighting library happenings, special program announcements, and invitations to member events.Funds raised through the Concord Festival of Authors (CFA) go directly to CFA programming expenses.
We also invite you to volunteer at Friends events, such as the CFA and our annual Book Sale, and to share your ideas for community programming. Sign-up to volunteer here!
