The Friends of the Chapin Branch Library play a vital role in supporting the library's mission to enrich the community. Through their book sales and fundraising, they raise funds that directly benefit a variety of programs, such as early childhood activities, social events for families, creative workshops for all ages and more. The Friends also help organize community events like a summer reading initiative, an Easter egg hunt, a Halloween parade, and the opportunity for children to meet Santa. These events not only foster a love of reading but also instill an appreciation for libraries as valuable community resources. By advocating for the library and providing essential resources, the Friends group ensures the library remains a hub for learning, creativity, and connection in Chapin, enriching the cultural life of the entire community and making the library a key space for all ages to learn, grow, and engage.
