Friends of the Library
Please see the Chelmsford Friends of the Library website for more information.
Our Friends group comprises members of all ages, including residents and non-residents, who contribute their time and energy to enhancing CPL's programs and services. Their support makes possible programs for adults and children, as well as museum passes, technology, and furniture for both the Anna C. MacKay Branch and the Main Library.

Non-Chelmsford residents can also join and gain access to the library’s museum passes.

Each year, the Friends of the Library sponsor a scholarship to be awarded to a high school graduating senior(s) who is a resident of Chelmsford, will be attending a 2- or 4-year college or university full-time in the fall, and has had an ongoing relationship with a library/libraries or has volunteered and/or worked for a library.
