Celebrating over 50 Years in Support of the Chappaqua Library
Our Mission
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 furnishings, technology and DVDs and books for the library's collection.
Recent Projects
Museum Passes
In September 2024, we recommitted to underwriting the library’s much-loved museum pass program, which will expand in 2024-2025 to incorporate more regional museums, family-friendly and outdoor sites, including Stepping Stones Museum and an Empire Pass for free vehicle parking at most New York State parks and historic sites.
Enhanced Library Spaces & Furniture
In the spring of 2024, the Friends funded new glass white boards for each study room for collaborative work and study.
In anticipation of a redesign, the Friends committed $30,000 in funding for future furniture purchases in the Children’s Room to maximize use of the recently expanded space.
