Friends of the Library

Friends of the Barre Library Association

The Barre Library Association (BLA) provides our community with a fine, accessible, recently expanded and renovated library for public use which houses a quality museum of primarily 19th century artifacts while also providing fun and educational programs and activities. The BLA has done so successfully for more than 100 years, but now they need your help to maintain these town treasures and to continue providing quality programming. The primary goal of the Friends group is to expand community involvement in the library to insure the continued operation of the library for current and future generations.
