What We Do

The Friends of the Trumbull Library provide support through fundraising and advocacy to help maintain and grow the library to better serve the town. All funds raised through membership, book sales and other activities go directly to the library. The funds are used to purchase books, materials and equipment, to expand programming, to support the library staff and to sponsor the summer reading program.

"A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert."
