Lydia’s Friends

“A public library is the most democratic thing in the world.” –Doris Lessing

Lydia’s Friends is Dummerston’s own friends-of-the-library group.

We are committed to promoting the success of the Lydia Taft Pratt Library. Lydia’s Friends engages in fundraising activities and advocates for the necessity of our town library.

To keep our library vibrant, Lydia’s Friends hosts an annual Geranium Festival & Book Sale, raises funds for our Museum Passes program, and lends our voice at Town Meeting.

We are always looking for new members. No contribution is too small.
