Everyone welcome.  

Free and open to the public
Honor someone special and help build the Dover Free Library collection!  Your tax-deductible donation will be used to purchase an item of your choice: a new book, a DVD, or an audio book.

A bookplate showing your name will be placed in each of your adopted items.  You may choose to dedicate the items to the memory of, or in honor of someone special to you.  The name will be shown on the bookplate as well.

If you are a member of a club or organization, adopting a book could be a group projet, perhaps continuing from month-to-month, or year-to-year.

Stop by the library (hours), select items to adopt and make your check payable to the Dover Free Library.

WHO WE ARE
The Friends of the Dover Free Library was formed in 2006 to support the staff by assisting with ongoing tasks and programs, fundraising, and co-creating additional events that provide opportunities for lifelong learning.  The Friends of the DFL include full-time and seasonal East and West Dover residents who value the many ways in which our library enriches our community and contributes to our quality of life.  There is no cost to membership; the only requirement is a desire to support the library.  The Friends are led by four officers and three directors who are elected annually.   VIEW THE FRIENDS’ BY-LAWS (51K PDF).
