From the Library Director...
The Cornwall Public Library is fortunate to have two wonderful organizations dedicated to supporting the library. You may know the Friends of Cornwall Library through the Friends Book Store, but did you know that they fund the library's annual summer reading programs, provide funds to the library for concerts and other programs, and support us by underwriting several of the library's Museum Passes? Consider becoming a Friend and join in their good work. Ask at our service desks for a Friends Membership envelope. The Cornwall Public Library Foundation supports the library through active fundraising and grant writing, and has raised funds to support the sound mitigation system in the library and several popular lectures and concerts. The Foundation is currently running their spring fundraising appeal - for more information, please visit their website. We are so thankful for the support of the Friends and the Foundation and for all of the excellent work that they do to benefit the Cornwall Community.
