Full membership in the Friends of Portsmouth Public Library is attained by submitting the information and payment for the selected membership level listed below. Our membership corresponds to the calendar year.
Dues notices are sent out in January. New members who join late in the year (after October 1) are automatically credited for the next full calendar year.
In addition, a new bylaws provision allows for the status of membership be given upon volunteering four hours or more per calendar year.
Members are encouraged to attend our meetings, held at the Library, and to take an active role in support of our Book Sales, Library Volunteer programs, and our organizational activities such as newsletter preparation, membership programs, and Friends promotions.
