The Friends of the Warwick Public Library is a member-supported, nonprofit organization that assists the library in its work as an important educational, cultural, and recreation center in our community.
The Friends sponsor concerts, storytimes, movies, museum passes, and summer reading and help with purchases and projects.
The Friends raise funds through an annual book sale held in September, our everyday book sale at each of the library branches and through individual, family, and patron memberships.
We encourage you to join us as a member to help keep our library active and strong.
