Description
The Chestnut Hill Library Friends is a voluntary, not for profit organization committed to making our library, one of the best community libraries, even better. Founded in the 1970s, the Friends remain dedicated to promoting knowledge of the needs and values of our library and to raising funds and encouraging gifts for its support.
The Chestnut Hill Library Friends has grown into an organization of hundreds of households whose members contribute thousands of hours of their time to supporting the Library through fund-raising events, providing garden maintenance, shelving of books, assisting librarians, and planning events to build Library use and awareness. Recently, a major project has been the opening of a used book shop, located a block from the library, as a tool to raise funds, awareness and provide coordinate programming for the benefit of the community.
