The Friends of the Rowley Public Library is a volunteer, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization seeking to enrich the life of our growing and diverse town by sponsoring cultural, educational and inter-generational programs. The Friends raise funds to support library programming and improvements through various rotating fundraising activities.

Rowley is a unique community— and at the heart of it is the Rowley Public Library. The Library offers free and open access to information, education and learning. Thanks to the generous commitment of many dedicated citizens, the Library can continue to provide books, information and educational programs to the hundreds of patrons who come through our doors each week.
