Who are the Friends of the Hampstead Public Library? We are book lovers, information seekers, readers, listeners, music and movie buffs. We are young and old, with varying backgrounds and interests. We all treasure ideas and value the public library as a vital community resource. We all believe that the Hampstead Public Library is an excellent library, ready to serve the whole community. The Friends raise money for equipment, materials and programs that are not provided for by the regular library budget; things that are beyond what taxpayers are responsible for. Libraries provide services for community members of all ages, so everyone benefits when libraries thrive. Come join the fun!
