The idea was passed to the American Association of University Wo

men - Bloomfield Chapter and to the Woman’s Club of Bloomfield, both of which, shortly thereafter, sponsored the Friends of the Library. The first meeting was held that same year, 1935. The Friends of the Library has continued to support programs and purchases of materials and equipment ever since.
