About the Friends
The Friends of Lunenburg Public Library (FLPL) is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization, whose purpose is to support and promote the library’s resources and services, as well as the library’s role as a cultural center in the community. Our activities are funded by membership dues, donations, grants, and fundraising events.
In addition to advocating for our library, the organization raises and provides funds to facilitate a wide variety of additional services, activities, and resources beyond the scope of the library’s operating budget, including:
- Children’s story hours, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) projects, summer reading programs.
- Young adult activities, projects and programs.
- Adult and family cultural events, concerts, crafts, storytellers, lectures, and movies.
- Computer hardware and software.
- Arts and crafts materials.
- Additions to the circulating collection.
- Discounted museum passes for current FLPL members.

Craft, Play, and Story Time for Preschoolers!
These children enjoy the opportunity to be creative while developing their fine motor, listening, and direction-following skills.
Patrons also love our new BEAM interactive projector, which was purchased by the Friends!
Skills being worked on with this fun system include: gross motor development, visual acuity, motor planning, and just plain social activity with friends!
