About the Friends

We are a volunteer, non-profit organization with the goal of raising awareness of and providing support for the Medfield Public Library. The Friends’ donations enable the Library to provide programs, technologies, and materials that inspire, inform, and bring the community together.

Here is what the Friends make possible: Children’s Programs, STEAM Room/Makerspace Materials & Equipment, 3-D Printer, Author Talks, Craft/DIY Classes, Summer Reading Incentives, Study Nights, Discounted Museum Passes, Self-checkout Stations, Creative Writing Awards… AND MUCH MORE!!

If you are an Amazon shopper, did you know that you can help the Friends of the Medfield Library while you shop? Make your Amazon purchases go further by shopping through Amazon Smile. Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase to the Friends at no charge to you.

Friends Bookstore

 

The volunteer-run Friends Bookstore in the library is a community favorite for patrons to buy donated books and other items at deeply discounted prices. The bookstore is open when the library building is opened to the public. All proceeds go to the library to support services and programs. 

There is currently no half-price sale at the Friends Bookstore. Most books in the Bookstore are regularly priced from $.50 to $2. We also have our “Last Chance Books” cart filled with items priced at $0.25 each. Thank you for your patronage.

Interested in donating gently used books, dvds, cds, puzzles, or games? Please call the library ahead of time and the library staff will give you more information.

Follow us on Facebook to see announcements about bookstore sales and news!
