The Friends of the Greenwich Free Library were established in 1969. The Friends are a group of people from the community interested in libraries and convinced that library service is important to all whose primary aim is “selling” their library to the community. The Friends of the Greenwich Free Library are interested in awakening the community at large to a more comprehensive understanding of the library, to stimulating widespread use of its outstanding collection and services, and to encouraging active and financial support for the needs of the library.
Annual membership to the Friends is a bargain at only $5.00.

Friends Book Sales
The Friends run the Boomerang Book Sale on the first Thursday of the month, from 4:00-6:00 pm and the third and fourth Saturday of the month, from 10:00am-1:00pm.
Book Donations are accepted at the Library during LIBRARY BUSINESS HOURS ONLY and please remember: We love books published within the last ten years, or scarce books from the past. Please, no damaged, moldy or musty books, no puzzles, encyclopedias, VHS tapes, catalogs, textbooks or Readers Digest/National Geographic collections. These types of donations DO NOT SELL and require us to bring them to the transfer station, so please RECYCLE THEM ON YOUR OWN. Thank you.
Friends Scholarship
The Friends of the Library and the Greenwich Free Library offer a scholarship to a graduating senior going into the fields of Library Science, creative writing or journalism.
