Greetings from the
President
Dear Neighbors,
The Friends of the Chicopee Public Library, Inc is an active organization of folks who know that a community with a first rate library is a better place to live. We are a non-profit community organization dedicated to supporting the Chicopee Public Library. This is accomplished through the many fund-raising events such as the golf tournament, spaghetti suppers, and sale of community and book-related items.
Members receive an informative newsletter three times annually, which gives advance notice of upcoming library events and sales.
The Chicopee Public Library is very important to us. Supporting the Library is a responsibility and a privilege. Please join us.
Sincerely,
John Michon
President
