Welcome to the Friends of the West Roxbury Branch Library

of library events and services. Become a Friend for as little as $10


Thank you for shopping the Used Book Sale!

The community came out in droves to support the recent West Roxbury branch library Used Book Sale! On the first day alone, we surpassed previous sales by about 25 percent. As a reminder, every dollar raised during Friends programs is reinvested back into the branch to fund community events, children’s activities, and provide supplies that exceed the city’s allocated budget. In addition to strong sales, we also welcomed several new members to the Friends.
