The Friends of the Acton Libraries

The Friends of the Acton Libraries came into existence in 1962, when Acton resident Margaret Richter, working with just a few other energetic and forward-thinking women, formed the group. Then, as now, it consisted of a small group of hard-working board members who were determined to make a difference, in a modest way, in the libraries in our town. In addition to its Board, which currently consists of twelve people, more than 200 members contribute dues, many of whom help out at our book sales.

Mission

The Friends of the Acton Libraries is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to the support of Acton's libraries. Though the bulk of our support goes to the Acton Memorial Library, the Friends also gives annual gifts to all the other libraries in town: the high school and junior high libraries, the five elementary school libraries, and the West Acton Citizen's library. It also presents a scholarship each year to a deserving high school senior.

The Friends, along with the Acton Memorial Library Trustees and other community groups, are supporting the creation of the Charlotte Sagoff Memorial Garden, in the area just to left of the main entrance to the Library. Your support would also be welcome.
