The Friends of Rye Public Library [FRPL] is an independent 501 (c)3 organization focused on financially enhancing the Library’s resources and services in addition to promoting the Library within the community via both educational and social presentations and events.

As a Friend, your annual dues help the FRPL provide this vital support, as their main source of revenue is their Annual Membership Drive.

The Friends received the New Hampshire Trustees Association’s 2014 Sue Palmatier Award For Outstanding Support By A “Friends Of The Library” Group in recognition of the extraordinary level, variety, and innovation of support they offer to the Rye Public Library, and the civic engagement of this outstanding group.
