Our Mission
The Friends of the Somerset County Library, also known as the Friends of the Bridgewater Library, is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the library make information and knowledge accessible to the communities it serves. The Friends purchases special materials, enhances the library environment, and sponsors numerous programs throughout the year. Funds are generated by book sales and donations.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Dear Patrons and Community Members
It is with great regret and sadness that we announce that the Bridgewater Friends will no longer be partnering with the Bridgewater Library.
We have truly enjoyed our 47 years here, and we took great pride in fulfilling our mission to support the library and enhance its environment. It was very fulfilling to run our concert programs, and we had a lot of fun building up and maintaining our in-library book sale.
It has been a privilege working alongside so many dedicated staff members and passionate readers. We have been deeply grateful for the years of partnership and support in this community that we have shared. It has been an honor to serve.
Yours Truly,
The Friends of the Bridgewater Library
