"The library is a friend to you - be a Friend of the Library"
The aim of the Patchogue-Medford Friends of the Library
is to help improve and broaden the library's role as a vital center of
information and enjoyment in our community.
The Friends work to promote closer ties between the library and the
public by focusing attention on library facilities and by helping to
expand its potential for providing services and programs relevant to
all.
The library is one of your most valuable assets. It deserves your
interest and can benefit from your suggestions. By joining the
Patchogue-Medford Friends you will have a personal voice in the
library's future, and the satisfaction of helping a life-long friend.
The Friends meet the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the
library, with the exception of January/February and July/August.
