Celebrating over 50 Years in Support of the Chappaqua Library

The purpose of the organization is to encourage, receive, and administer gifts for the benefit of the Chappaqua Public Library. The Friends help to sponsor library programs such as workshops, author talks, and children's programs, as well as fund the purchase of furniture, technology, and DVDs and books for the library's collection.

Electronic Announcement Sign

In 2025, the Friends sponsored the purchase of a new electronic sign on the building's exterior. This sign will enhance the library's ability to engage with patrons, keeping them informed about upcoming events, new services, and the many resources available at the library.

Museum Passes

We are committed to underwriting the library’s much-loved museum pass program, which will continue to expand in 2026 - 2027 to incorporate more regional museums and family-friendly sites. Our most recent additions to the Museum pass program include the recently renovated Frick Collection in New York City as well as DIA: Beacon. Reserve your passes here.

Enhanced Library Spaces & Furniture

In recent years, the Friends have funded reupholstering chairs in the library's front seating area, new rolling chairs for computer stations, a rapid reads display table, as well as new glass white boards for each study room for collaborative work.
