Friends of the New Richmond Community Library

We are an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the New Richmond Community Library.

We raise funds through book sales, membership dues, and donations.

The Friends volunteers who accept donations of books, DVDs, music CDs, and puzzles at the library on Tuesdays will be taking a 6-week summer break from June 30 to August 4, 2026. Volunteers will be back to accept donations on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month from 12:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. beginning on August 11, 2026.

If you have several boxes of items to donate and cannot wait until August 11, 2026, please schedule a drop-off appointment by emailing the Friends of the New Richmond Community Library at [email protected]. This ensures a volunteer will be there to accept your donation.
Small donations, like just a handful of items, can be left with library staff at the library service desk any time during open hours. Please do not leave donations outside the library or in the book drop.

So many thanks to our community who donated items this spring, volunteered on donation days or during the book sale, and shopped at the sale last week. Your generosity helped our small nonprofit get used books, DVDs, music CDs, and puzzles into new homes and raise $5,100! The funds raised are used to support library programs and collections. Thank you!

The Friends are hosting a program for young children on select Monday mornings from 9:30-11:00AM this summer.

Sensory Play Time gives young children the opportunity to explore solids or liquids while using their senses of touch, sight, smell, and sound to scoop and dump different materials each week at the Library's sensory table.

This program will happen outdoors on the north side of the Library near the playground equipment. Since it is an outdoor program, it will be canceled in the event of inclement weather.

Funding for this youth program is made possible by the Nancy Hansen Memorial and the mobile sensory table was funded by the AnnMarie Foundation.

If you are interested in supporting this program as a volunteer, please visit the Friends volunteer management website at https://pointapp.org/orgs/6531 to sign up for a date when you are available. Volunteers for this program will also need to complete a Library Volunteer Application which will include a background check. Simply ask for this volunteer application at the Library's service desk on your next visit to the library.

Coffee Hour with the Friends!

Join us for a members-only coffee hour to enjoy a warm complimentary cup of coffee or tea, meet and connect with other members, and hear about upcoming opportunities from both the Friends Board and Jewelltown Cafe.

We will gather together on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M. inside the library near the fireplace. Stay for a few minutes or the full hour and simply enjoy spending time together.

We are finally ready to accept your donations. We anticipate that our community has many books, DVDs, music CDs, or puzzles to share with us after six months of restricting these donations.
Our donation process has changed slightly. Please bring your donations to the library on Tuesday afternoons, and volunteers will be there to help you unload your donations. Since this is a new process in a new space, small adjustments might be made from one week to the next as we reflect and learn how to improve it.
