Friends of the Maynard Public Library
The Friends of the Maynard Public Library is a group dedicated to supporting the library. As an all-volunteer non-profit organization, we raise funds through our used book sales and annual memberships. With these funds, we expand the programs and services of the library. We're always looking for new members and volunteers!
Events and Programs
We hold a number of events throughout the year, including film series, Mystery Nights, musical performances, and many author readings. In April each year we present the Maynard Book Festival. Our events are all free and open to the public, and usually have very good refreshments! Click here to see our upcoming programs.

Book Sales
The Friends hold multiple books sales each year. In addition, we have an ongoing book sale shelf near the elevator in the library. Check back often, because these books go fast!

Museum Passes
The Friends sponsor the library's museum pass program, which provides free or reduced admission to twenty local and Boston area museums, including the Discovery Museums in Acton and the Museum of Science and the New England Aquarium in Boston.
Membership
Your annual membership helps support library programs. Members will receive an invitation to the Friday Night Preview for our fall book sale, where they can shop before the general public. In addition, we hold Members-Only Appreciation Events with a dessert buffet and musical guests.
All members are welcome to attend our monthly planning meetings. These are usually held on the first Monday of each month at 7:00. Help us plan programs for the whole library.
