Since its establishment in 1976, the Friends of the Saratoga Springs Public Library have been dedicated to advancing the library’s objectives. Over the past thirty-five years, we have actively sponsored and launched various programs, offering valuable support through membership fees and fundraising initiatives. Advocacy has played a pivotal role throughout our history. In the early years, we served as a vocal advocate during School Board budget meetings. In the late eighties, our organization contributed significant energy and leadership, playing a crucial role in the successful passage of the bond issue that paved the way for the construction of the current library facility.
