Enriching library experiences
Friends of the Bedford Library is dedicated to hosting engaging events, talks, lectures, and the Sunday Concert Series to enrich our community. Join us in our mission to support the Bedford Public Library.

What we do
Friends of the Bedford Library is a dedicated group of library fans who support and enhance the services the library offers. Our members play a vital role in ensuring that our library continues to be a valuable resource for the Bedford community, and as a member your membership dues and involvement will directly contribute to programs such as workshops, concerts, and other happenings geared towards patrons of all ages. In addition, Friends provides financial assistance for library purchases.
Beyond supporting the library’s mission, becoming a Friend of the Bedford Public Library offers personal benefits as well. Friends members receive a tote bag with the Friends' logo, a monthly newsletter, and the option to volunteer at events of your choice. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with fellow library fans and make a positive impact in our town. There are numerous ways to get involved based upon your interest and availability if you so choose, but there’s no obligation to volunteer. Finally, your membership dues help to make sure that the library remains a thriving place for connection within the Bedford community. We encourage you to become a member today and experience all that our group has to offer!
