The Friends of Sachem Public Library is an enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers devoted to supporting the library and enriching our community for forty years.
The Friends host book sales several times a year from 10am to 4pm in the Library, conveniently located across from the Welcome Desk. The collection features a diverse range of genres, including children’s books, young adult fiction, biographies, history, romance, mysteries, classics and more.
Depending on inventory or the sale’s theme, books can be found at incredible bargains—-sometimes as low as four for $1! DVDs and CDs are also available, and on occasion, puzzles are offered for sale. Special items, such as rare edition, collectible books, and complete sets, are individually priced at higher rates.
Through book sales and generous donations, the Friends have made a meaningful impact on the library’s programs and services. Each spring, the Friends proudly award two $500 scholarship to graduating seniors within the Sachem school district. The 2025 winners were Isabelle Noble, Sachem North and Sarah Nagle, Sachem East.
Starting in January 2026, we will proudly enter our 40th year of unwavering dedication to both the library and the community – a milestone worth celebrating!
Click the application button to access a printable Friends’ Membership Application. You can also find additional applications at the library’s Welcome Desk. The Friends typically meet on the second Thursday of each month, with specific activities and meeting details listed in the library newsletter and online events calendar.
Our diverse backgrounds, talents, and passions come together to support the Library, ensuring all funds raised directly contribute to it’s commitment to the community.
Celebrate 40 years of dedication by supporting the Friends! Your generosity makes a lasting impact and is truly appreciated. You can donate in memory of a loved one or become a Friends Sponsor with a contribution of $250. Every donation, big or small, helps keep the Sachem Library community thriving.
