Volunteers
The Friends of the Hampstead Public Library are continually seeking volunteers to join one of our committees or simply attend our meetings to listen or contribute creative fund raising and marketing ideas. To join, pick up a Friends Membership form at the front desk of the library or print out and mail Membership Form found at the bottom of this page.
Membership
If you use the library but haven't yet joined the Friends of the Hampstead Public Library, please think about doing so. It's only $5 per year for an individual membership although there are also other categories that cost more and therefore benefit the library more. Brochures with membership forms are available at the front desk of the library or download a membership form. (See below.) You can also stay abreast of our activities by "liking” the Friends on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/friendshampsteadpubliclibrary).
Mission

Memberships start at $5 and are open to anyone who has an interest in our library. Remember, all contributions are tax deductible and you can choose which level of financial commitment to make!
