As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, the Friends of the Meriden Public Library
provides a variety of services to the citizens of Meriden in support of the free
public library system. Some of the programs and services of the Friends
include:
 Summer Children's Programs
The Friends fund a variety of specially created summer library programs for
children that help to promote literacy and library outreach to children in every
age group.
Books for Babies
In conjunction with MidState Medical Center, the Friends send a book and library
card home with each newborn delivered at the Meriden-based hospital. This
program ensures that all new parents know about the literacy programs available
to them through the library.
Friends Bookstore
Located at 35 West Main Street in the heart of the city, the Friends of the Library
Bookstore features quality used books available for sale at discounted
prices.
The Friends of the Meriden Public Library also assists the City of Meriden,
in a pinch, with completion of maintenance projects. Through funding as
well as manual labor, we help the City to complete a variety of upkeep projects
throughout the Library including painting, carpet installation and landscaping
upgrades.
