Friends of the Whipple Free Library provide essential support to the Library

The Friends of the Whipple Free Library is a non-profit organization begun by Beulah Hayes in 1966 to improve the library's services, resources, and its role in the community.

The Friends, though its fund-raising projects, was able to contribute significantly to the Hayes-Warren addition. Other ways in which the group has been involved in enhancing the library and community include:

-the purchase of videos and DVD's
-the purchase of special volumes and equipment
-the annual Wassail celebration

The organization hopes to continue to expand its role through such fundraising projects as:

- the annual auction
- the New Boston Telephone Directory
- the annual book sale

New members are encouraged to join the Friends in providing even greater contributions to the residents of New Boston through the Whipple Free Library.
