Remembering A Friend

Dorothy “Dot” Antoun Chainey, past president of the Friends of the Library will be honored at the Friends Book Sale beginning September 11, 2010 at the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library. Those attending the book sale will find a special poster featuring Dorothy and some of her creative ideas.

Dorothy was a professional artist, a lover of ballet, a creative craftsperson, an avid mystery reader, and a loving wife and mother. Dorothy had the unique gift of creating harmony, while organizing events and bringing people together. She was a master weaver of friends.

Those who knew Dorothy might wish to honor her by contributing to the Friends of the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library in any amount. Funds collected will be used specifically for books on art, ballet and mystery. The address is:
Friends of Hamilton-Wenham Public Library
14 Union Street
S. Hamilton, MA 01982

Please specify for Dorothy Chainey Memorial Fund.

Welcome to the Friends! Since the opening of the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library, we have become a vital and integral part of the crew that brings you your library resources.

We fund all museum passes that are offered to patrons.  We sponsor special events and programs offered at the library for both adults and children, and provide for the purchase of special equipment, hardware and furniture.

Our semi-annual book sales are special community events, offering a wide selection of good desirable used books, audio and video tapes. Dozens of Friends work together to make the book sale a happening event in September and March. The next book sale will be in September 2010.

Our semi-annual book sales are each preceded by a one-day video sale, and there is a "childrens only" book sale in June. Additionally, we maintain a book sale cart in the library throughout the year.

Interested in making a donation? Please read our Library Donation Guidelines.

Through your membership contributions (of time and talent, as well as money), and donations of books for the sale, we are able to provide the extra resources and improvements that make our library the special place that it is! Come join your friends and neighbors and feel a true sense of pride and accomplishment as we make a difference in our community.

We welcome you and your ideas!

Please check the library's Calendar of Events often for upcoming Friends' meetings and events.
