Friends of the Library

Who We Are:

The Friends of East Greenbush Community Library is a non-profit, volunteer organization committed to creating broad community support for the East Greenbush Community Library as a major and expanding cultural resource and vital part of the East Greenbush community.

Through a range of fundraising events (book & media sales, tote bag sales, raffle baskets, and special events), the Friends enhance programs and services that the library can offer. Many of these programs and projects promote literacy and learning, and all contribute to a strong community supported by a strong library. Friends Grants awarded to the Library in 2025.
