WHAT ARE THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY?
The Friends of the Exeter Library is a volunteer nonprofit association, which supplies a wide variety of needs for the Exeter Community Library.
The Friends try to create public support for expanding the library's programs and building
needs.
We help to provide materials and services for the library that are not included in the regular budget.
The Friends work to promote legislation and appropriations that will benefit the library.
Each year we would like our membership to grow so that we can provide all these services and more in the future.
