Support of the Quechee and Wilder Libraries is essential to our continued excellent service. We ask for donations twice a year – in late Spring through the Friends of the Libraries annual appeal and in early Winter through the Trustees annual appeal – but donations of money, time, or resources are welcome at any point.
Friends of the Quechee/Wilder Libraries
The Friends of the Quechee/Wilder Libraries are integral to the operation of our libraries by raising funds and supporting the libraries in many ways throughout the year.
In recent years, the Friends have purchased new furniture and carpeting for the Wilder Library Children’s Room and refinished the leather chairs in the Quechee Library lobby, as well as the annual maintenance of the printers. They also have a selection of fundraising gifts, including notecards, tote bags, and blankets for when you want to rep your favorite local libraries.
The current leadership of the Friends are: Jo Allsopp, President; Joyce Baldwin, Vice President; and Marilyn Farley, Secretary and Treasurer.
The Friends meet the second Wednesday of each month at 11:30 at the Quechee Library, and the meetings are open to anyone interested in joining at any time. The Friends also hold an Annual Meeting in May of each year.
The Friends are always looking for new members and offer a number of opportunities to get involved, including book sales; the Covered Bridges Half Marathon water stop at the library; staffing the Bugbee Pop Up library; and assisting with various children’s programs throughout the year.
Please email info@quecheelibrary.org for additional information or to join the Friends’ email distribution list.
Quechee Watercolor Print
Prints are available for purchase for $195 of this Quechee village scene painted by watercolor artist Susan Pecora. Made possible by a gift from Gladys Sullivan, the painting is on display at the library.
Booksales
For over 30 years, we’ve held a book sale in conjunction with the Quechee Balloon Festival to support the libraries. Donations of books and volunteer time are essential. We also maintain an ongoing book sale in the lower level of the Quechee Library throughout the year. We are always looking for volunteer support for the book sales; please send a note to info@quecheelibrary.org if you’d like to help.
Please, however, donate only books in good condition, as the library incurs a cost to dispose of books that cannot be sold.
Donations
We welcome your support in any form, whether in volunteer service, book donations, or monetary contributions.
