Welcome to the Friends of the Meriden Public Library website.  It is the goal of the Friends to raise funds through a variety of avenues in support of programming and improvements at the Meriden Public Library in Meriden, Connecticut.

The Friends of the Meriden Public Library is a non-profit, volunteer organization that plays an integral role in much of the programming offered through the Meriden Public Library including informational speakers, family-friendly activities, literacy building events and "Heartbeat of the City," a Friends-produced award-winning monthly television show.

There are numerous ways to get involved with the Friends.  We invite you to browse our site for opportunities to support our efforts.  You may also visit us at our Bookstore, located in the heart of the city at 1 Colony Street in Meriden or purchase many of our titles at reduced prices through Amazon.com.
