About Us
A volunteer-driven partnership with the Bryant Library.
Founded in 1979 by neighbors who believed a great library is built by the community it serves.
Our Mission
Enhancing services and enjoyment for every patron.
The Friends of the Bryant Library exists to provide funds for equipment, materials, and programs that enhance the services and enjoyment of the Bryant Library in Roslyn, New York. We work alongside library staff to underwrite the extras that turn a good library into a beloved community institution — author visits, children's programming, museum passes, technology upgrades, and more.
Our History
Established in 1979, the Friends have supported the Bryant Library through book sales, membership drives, sponsored programs, and advocacy. Today we remain entirely volunteer-run, with 100% of donations going toward library needs.
