Library patrons, users, volunteers: please come to an organizing meeting on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. As a member of The Friends of Fields Corner Branch Library, you can make a difference. Last year the Friends groups citywide stopped the closure of several branch libraries. Now elected officials from city to state support the maintenance of all Boston libraries.
The library wants to reorganize its friends group. Your presence is valuable. Please come to the meeting and bring your suggestions. There is no fee to become a Friend of the Fields Corner library and there are many volunteer opportunities. The Fields Corner Branch Library is located at 1520 Dorchester Ave., Dorchester. Call the library at (617)436-2155 with questions. (Photo Credit: Tim Mansfield).
