Friends of the Library

The Friends sponsor the Museum Passes,  special library programs, the

Weaver Library Farmers Market and other projects through book sales and

membership dues. Recently they purchased the storage shed in the corner

of the Weaver parking lot. The Friends are an invaluable support to your

community library.

Sponsored by Friends of the East Providence Public Library. Proceeds benefit library programs, including museum passes, special concerts and events.

The Never-Ending Book Sale at Weaver and Riverside Libraries is open whenever the libraries are open. The Friends of the East Providence Public Library stock the ongoing book sales at the libraries with gently used selections weekly, so there is always something different on the shelves.

Selections can be brought to the Welcome Desk for purchase. All proceeds benefit library programs and activities.
