Welcome to the Friends!
We’re so glad you’re here.
Ready to see what’s possible
when a community rallies around a Library?
We are the Friends of the Amesbury Public Library and with our shared sense of purpose and a vision to do more, we have been helping the Library in every way we can.
Helping bring programs like summer reading to kids in every corner of our city.
Helping provide museum passes to inspire minds young and old. And helping support
the needs of the Library and librarians in every aspect of what they do, from supplies,
to technology improvements, to programs that enrich the community.
Through our fundraising efforts, countless volunteers, committed members,
corporate partners, and our centerpiece used book shop, we are empowering
our Library to push well beyond its walls to show our community what’s truly possible.
