About Us

The Friends of the Warwick Public Library is a member-supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that assists the library in its work as an important educational, cultural, and recreation center in our community.

The Friends sponsor concerts, story-times, movies, museum passes, and summer reading as well as assisting with purchases and projects. 

The Friends raise funds through two bi-annual book sales and through individual, family, and patron memberships.  We encourage you to join us as a member to help keep our library active and strong.
