The Friends of the
Peterborough Town Library
The Friends of the Peterborough Town Library is a non-profit group of devoted supporters of the Library. Our primary mission is to raise funds for items and programs that are not included in the Library's annual budget. We believe in the importance of supporting and enhancing our Library for current and future readers.
What do the Friends do?
The Friends run the Kyes-Sage Book Shop, which is open May-November, 3 days a week, selling good quality used adult and children's books. The funds raised go towards Library services like:
- Children's Summer Reading Program
- Passes to numerous area museums
- NH Humanities educational lecture series
- Special events and programs for all ages
- Peterborough Community Seed Library
