Friends of the Mashpee Library

Who Are The Friends?

The Friends of the Mashpee Library is a non-profit 501(c) 3 volunteer organization dedicated to the support and promotion of the Mashpee Public Library.  Participants are community members who support the mission to provide free and equal access to information, materials, and programs to all Mashpee residents.

Our members advocate for a strong library. We believe that ours is one of the best and most-used libraries on Cape Cod, and that it deserves an engaged organization that supports the community’s desire for library services.

We have an active board of directors, amazing civic and corporate partners, and many dedicated members and supporters. Your support and generosity strengthens the Mashpee Public Library and ensures the continued growth of library services.
