NOVEL NIGHT & THE FRIENDS OF THE TOWN OF PELHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY

​The Friends of the Town of Pelham Public Library is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for the Town of Pelham Public Library. Every other year, we hold Pelham's biggest party, our signature fund-raiser, Novel Night. For more than two decades, the Friends of the Town of Pelham Public Library have made significant contributions to the Library’s annual budget. Your support of the Friends’ biennial fund-raiser, Novel Night, has made that possible. Thanks to you, in recent years we have funded a communications consultant and the Library's newsletter; staged the town-wide community read, Pelham Reads!; and supported hundreds of free programs for all Library patrons. We look forward to celebrating the Library’s twenty-fifth anniversary with the community this year.
