History -
The first organizational meeting
of the Friends of the Middletown Public Library was held on January 28, 1980.
The purpose of the Friends is to maintain an association of persons interested
in literature and libraries; to focus attention on library service, facilities
and need; to promote projects of the library; and to stimulate gifts of
desirable collections, endowments and bequests; and to foster community support
for the library.
The Friends of the Middletown
Public Library was determined exempt from federal income tax under section
501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code in 1984. The Friends have sponsored
numerous fund raising activities for the library, conduct annual book sales and
bake sales, and have generously contributed their time and resources towards
the betterment of Library services.
The Friends' membership includes
over 200 families, individuals, and businesses who support Library Services and
the cultural enrichment of Middletown. The Friends' Board meets monthly at the
Library. The General Membership has the opportunity to meet at the Annual
Dinner, the Library Book Sale, and other social and fund raising activities.
The Friends' Board meetings are
held in the Library Meeting Room at 3PM on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
