About the Friends

The Friends of the Rowley Public Library is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization whose sole mission is to support the Rowley Public Library by providing financial assistance to help defray the cost of library and staff development programs not covered under the annual operating budget, and by organizing volunteers to assist library staff.

The talented Triton High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Susan Densmore, performed a free concert on the library lawn to more than 100 appreciative music fans in May 2009. The Friends have sponsored this popular event for several years.

Thanks to the generous commitment of many dedicated citizens, the Library can continue to provide books, information and educational programs to the hundreds of patrons who come through our doors each week.
