Membership
2025 Membership covers the period January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. In addition to knowing that you are supporting a vital part of our community, membership entitles you to attend the Friends only previews of our popular fundraiser book sale.
A monthly or annual donation to the Friends benefits the continuing of FUN and educational adult and children’s programs for the library, as well as exploring options for new initiatives. While the Friends of the Roxbury Public Library support the Library Foundation wholeheartedly, donating to the GEM program benefits the expansion of the library and the foundations efforts. A donation to the Foundation does not include a Friends Membership.
Please help us continue to fund these exciting and educational programs by joining the Friends of the Roxbury Township Public Library! If you are renewing your membership or if you wish to become a new member, we sincerely thank you for your support of the Friends and the Library.
Case for Support
Dear Roxbury Families,
The Friends of the Roxbury Township Public Library are asking for your help in our mission to support the library. Over the years, funds raised by our organization have paid for the children’s and adult summer programs, STEAM activities for children, stimulating lectures, and numerous concerts. Most recently the Friends (with the support of many local businesses) have funded the growing Library of Things, an innovative initiative which allows Roxbury Library Card holders to borrow a range of eclectic “things” like board games, metal detectors, instruments, wifi hotspots, portable projectors, and so much more.
We’ve also recently funded a huge expansion of the museum pass program, now offering complimentary passes to 16 museums! All complimentary, and all to the benefit of our local community.
Our community is fortunate to have a library that adapts with changing times. Since the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the library has hugely expanded its digital collection to accommodate the appetite for e-books and e-audiobooks. It continues to offer hundreds of story times, enlightening talks, yoga and Zumba classes, hands-on learning activities, and even BYOB art classes.
Every year, our library proves again and again that the most valuable card in your wallet is your library card. We’re proud to do our part and we’re proud of our library.
The library is counting on the Friends not only to maintain but to increase their financial assistance as it continues to adapt for the benefit of our community. Whether you are a longtime Friend or considering joining for the first time, your contribution is meaningful and helps make our library the beloved cultural institution that it is.
Gratefully,
Stu Bauer, President
Pat Beach, Vice President
