Major Avon Library Booster Organization Celebrates Huge Milestone

Avon Free Public Library

AVON, CT — The Friends of the Avon Free Public Library is “Celebrating 75 Years of Friendship” with a display in the Marion Hunter Local History Room at the Library.

Guests are invited to come in and take a look at what the Friends have done in the past.

From 11 members in December 1950 who decided to create Friends of the Avon Free Public Library to our present membership of 643, the Friends of Avon Library’s mission is to support the Avon Free Public Library with both funds and volunteers.

"We promote the extension of library facilities by securing materials beyond the ordinary library budget," wrote the organization in an announcement. "We also enrich the library experience by sponsoring library programs and activities through financial support."

The display will be up until Feb. 25.

"We hope you stop in and take a look at our membership drive, which is currently underway," wrote the organization.
