About

The Friends of the Chappaqua Library is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization run by volunteers. The purpose of the organization is to encourage, receive, and administer gifts for the benefit of the Chappaqua Library.

The Friends help to sponsor library programs such as author talks, children's programs, and writing workshops, as well as fund the purchase of furnishings, technology, and DVDs & books for the library’s collection. We are perhaps most well known for our Annual Book Sale - 32 miles of books! - and our Young Writer’s Contest held each spring.

The Friends Board meets 10 times a year to plan programs, prepare for the annual book sale, and investigate sources of funding. Most meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month, excluding July and August, at the Chappaqua Library. All are welcome. Our 2022-23 schedule is posted on our calendar and minutes of past meetings can be found below.
