Friends of Sachem Public Library

Friends of Sachem Public Library are an enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers committed to supporting Sachem Public Library.  Since 1986, they have provided funding to the Library through sales of books and book bags.  Throughout these twenty plus years, the Friends have made many major contributions to the Library.  Additionally, their sponsorship of library programs and special events benefits the entire community.  Each spring, Friends of Sachem Public Library offer two $500 scholarships to graduating seniors who live in the Sachem school district.

As record numbers of patrons enjoy our wonderful Library, Friends of the Sachem Public Library continue to support, enrich and help expand the library's services to our community.

Since 1986, we Friends have been a not-for-profit organization dedicated to volunteer work and to the financing of the extras that increase the library's vitality and value.
