The purpose of the Friends of the Reuben Hoar Library is to assist the library by providing equipment for the library, sponsoring educational programs such as the Summer and Winter Reading Programs, providing Museum Passes and the Museum Pass Reservation System for library patrons.
Join us on Sunday, October 25 from 2 - 4pm in the Sturtz Meeting Room for the Friends of the RHL's first ever Puzzle Competition! Bring a team of up to 4 people to build a 500 piece puzzle. No team? No worry - we can match you up with others!
The first team to finish will receive Bragging Rights and an RHL Goody Bag. Each team will take home their copy of the puzzle.
This will also serve as the Friends Annual Meeting, so join us and meet the board members! We are looking for others who love their library to join us in helping to make the library the special place it is. If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a board member, email us at ReubenHoarLibraryFriends@gmail.com
