Friends of the C.H. Booth Library

A core group of about 25 devoted volunteers who are more like a club of book lovers. They enjoy each others company and are proud of their service to the library. This group meets twice a week to select, categorize, alphabetize and store books, tapes, CD’s, etc. When time comes around for the annual book sale, the volunteer force expands to over 100. Their last sale included over 170,000 items.

Membership dues and book sale revenues allow the Friends to greatly enhance the collections in each department of the library. The Friends also sponsor a number of adult and children's programs at the library. You play an important role in making the C.H. Booth Library one of the best in Connecticut. We need your help – please call Mary at 426-3889 for Friends' volunteer opportunities.

Do you have books or materials you would like to donate? Donations are accepted during library hours. The Friends Donation Cart is located just inside the side sliding doors from the back parking lot. Please call ahead (426-4533) if you will need help unloading your car. In addition to books the Booksale will accept computer texts and software, puzzles, games, records, textbooks (5 years old or newer) and only Architectural Digest and Bon Appetit magazines. The Booksale does not accept computers, hardware or encylopedias.
