The Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries is an all-volunteer organization founded in 1952. Its goals are:
- To stimulate broad community interest in and support of the libraries.
- To supplement library funding received from the town.
- To enhance the impact of the libraries as a cultural and educational force in the community.
The Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries organization plays an important role in enriching services and programs offered to Wellesley Residents of all ages. Your membership will help to continue this support.
