Support Your Library Community
The Friends of the Cos Cob Library is a volunteer organization dedicated to encouraging and assisting the work of the Cos Cob Branch of the Greenwich Library by providing information to the community, by sponsoring programs and by coordinating the volunteer activities of the Cos Cob Library.
The Friends reach out to children, students, teachers, and adults to nurture a lifelong love of reading and to introduce the vast print and non-print resources of the Library.
The Friends Membership dollars help defray expenses outside the Library’s budget with gifts of equipment, extra supplies and by sponsoring:
- Children's/Adults Programs (including book discussion groups, author presentations and genealogy workshops)
- Educational & Computer Workshops
- Cultural Programs
- Entertainment Programs
- Art Exhibits
- Craft Activities
- Theme Events
- Holiday Parties
- Day Trips
- Social Events
- Concerts
- Children’s Programs
- Book Sales
Membership in The Friends shows support for the Library and offers an opportunity for community service and involvement when Friends volunteer: hosting programs and exhibits; helping with mailings; shelf reading; and baking and assisting with event hospitality.
Be A Friend
Membership in The Friends of the Cos Cob Library shows your support for our local library. Annual Membership Dues are tax deductible. The Membership Year runs from May 1st through April 30th.
To recognize their generosity, The Friends of the Cos Cob Library names Associates, Sponsors, Patrons, Benefactors and Angels. The Friends are pleased to recognize these special donors, not only to acknowledge their generosity personally, but to celebrate the important role their gifts play in the growth, development and success of the Cos Cob Library. Basic Friends Family Membership is just $20, but when you join at the $50 level, you’ll receive your choice of an Associate’s’ Book Bag or Beach Towel. Join at the $100 Sponsor level and you’ll also receive your choice of a Friends’ Umbrella or Apron. Friends joining at the Patron, Benefactor or Angel level will also receive a handsome Stadium Blanket and be recognized throughout the year.
