Mission Statement
The Friends of the Dighton Public Library serve to foster public interest and support for the library through activities and events that share knowledge of its services and needs.
The Friends of the Dighton Public Library is a volunteer, non-profit group devoted to enhancing the quality of our library. If you would like to help our cause and make a donation to support the Dighton Public Library, please use the Venmo link below.
Membership
All are welcome, and we always welcome new friends. All you really need to do is love the library and join us for a few meetings a year to help brainstorm and plan great events! If you are interested in becoming a Friend, please e-mail dightonfriends@gmail.com for additional information.
Events and Fundraisers
The Friends have always been tremendous supporters of the Library over the years, spearheading events and fundraisers that benefit the Library. Recently, the Friends donated $10,000 to the Library as a result of funds raised from their second annual golf tournament.
