Friends of the Hopedale Library
About Us
The Friends of the Hopedale Library, founded in 1983, is an active volunteer, non-profit organization with town-wide membership and a representative executive board. We work with the library staff and the trustees to support the library in providing funds for equipment, materials, and programs not covered by the library's regular operating budget. We offer many children's activities, and we have expanded our adult offerings as well. We hope you will consider joining the Friends of the Library. Membership dues (starting at just $5.00 annually) are vital to continue this support.

Memorandum of Understanding
In Massachusetts, many public libraries use a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with their Friends of the Library organization to clarify roles, fundraising responsibilities, communication, advocacy, use of funds, and the relationship between the nonprofit Friends group and the library itself.
