Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Chilmark Public Library, a 501(c)3 charitable corporation, raise money to support library needs and amenities beyond the annual town budget. From funding to planning to hands-on volunteer work, there are countless ways in which the Friends make our library more comfortable, attractive, and complete.
