What's New?

PLEASE RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP FOR 2008

Membership dues are spent on library services for the community. In 2007 Membership dues totaled $9,130. That income along with income from book sales enabled the Friends of the Belmont library to provide $6,925 in programs (primarily for children and teens) and $8,000 for a homework tutor. We believe these type of extra services truly enrich our community. We hope you agree.

Please use the renewal form to send your membership dues for 2008. Please remember that membership dues are annual and our membership dates run from January to December.
