Thanks to all of you, the Book Sale raised over $12,000! Directly funding library events, programs, special collections, services & more - enriching our community all year long.
We couldn't do it without our wonderful volunteers, the Friends of the Library,
and everyone who came out to browse and take home some great reads.
Together, we made a big difference for our community!
The Friends of the Barrington Public Library are a non-profit organization of volunteers who make big things happen - quietly, consistently, and with heart.
The Friends fund over 88% of the library’s programs. And the best part: this contribution comes from you - generous book donors, enthusiastic shoppers, dedicated volunteers, memberships and contributors.
From speaker series and concerts to film screenings, author talks, workshops, and art exhibits… to Museum Passes, Makerspace Studio, Express Books and more.
The Friends support programs to spark creativity, lifelong learning, and connection, ensuring a wide range of educational and cultural initiatives remain accessible to everyone.
A Friend Membership is one of the simplest ways to support the library you love.
Your membership helps sustain a vibrant hub in our community. It’s more than a donation - it’s a vote for learning, curiosity, culture, and shared growth.
Won't you join us? Give back. Make an impact.
