The mission of the Friends of the Jacob
Edwards Library is to be the fundraising arm of the Library.
We are a non-profit organization that raises money for items
such as library programs, books, furniture, subscriptions,
museum pass memberships and other materials as needed.

Children and Adult Programs –
Throughout the year, the Friends sponsor a number of programs
for adults, teens and children. The Friends are the primary
funding source for most programs offered through the Jacob
Edwards Library. All programs are free and open to the
general public. See our Calendar
for a list of current events.
Summer Reading Programs – The
Friends generously support the annual Summer Reading Program
for both children and teens. Each summer, this program
provides incentives and exciting programming to keep children
and teens and promotes reading during summer vacation.
Merchandise Sales – The Friends
offer a number of items for sale throughout the year. Canvas
book bags and decorative brass pins of the library building
are available for purchase at the Information Desk on the Main
Floor. Also, the Friends offer copies of the library-produced
Memories of Southbridge documentary. Merchandise is
available for purchase at the Information Desk on the Main
Level.
Book Sale – A variety of books,
tapes and CDs for sale on bookcarts located on the Lower Level
of the Library. All merchandise is donated and freshened on a
regular basis.
We accept gently used items for the Book
Sale throughout the year. Items must be in good condition and
relatively new. We cannot accept donations of condensed
books, magazines or reference sets. Donations may be given at
the Information Desk on the Main Floor.
