Friends of Slater Library
Friends of Slater Library was formed by interested patrons to provide enhancements and improvements to the library. Friends of Slater Library operate independently of the library, and all donations are allocated to library projects which are voted on by Friends members. In spite of the pandemic, Friends of Slater Library was able to fund over $7500.00 in programs and library supplies, through two successful Book and Yard Sales!
Support the Friends of Slater Library by becoming a member! Individual memberships are $5.00 and Family memberships are $10.00. If you are interested in joining the fundraising committee or hosting a fundraiser, please contact Kathy Gilgenbach or Jan Demicco at Slater Library @(860) 376-0024.
