Welcome
The Friends of the Belgrade Public Library (FOBPL) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The purpose of this organization is to establish a closer relationship between the Belgrade Public Library and the people it serves within the surrounding community; to promote interest in its resources, services and needs; to work in partnership with the trustees in providing services and programs and developing facilities that support and enrich the surrounding community; and to stimulate and receive gifts, endowments and bequests for the benefit of the library.
The FOBPL finished renovating the property on the Depot Road to be used as the Belgrade Public Library. We will continue to pay the costs for the operation and maintenance of the building and land during the term of the lease with the Town of Belgrade. We will need to raise money every year to pay for the maintenance and repairs of the building, grounds, well, septic, plowing, driveway, janitorial service, lawn mowing, utilities, heat, and insurance covering the building and land. To date, the average monthly cost is $1,200 per month.
2018 Events:
Book and Baked Goods Sale, Saturday, March 3rd, 9 am - 2 pm, Belgrade Central School
Basket Bingo, Friday, March 30th, doors open at 5:00 pm Belgrade Central School
Yard Sale, Saturday, June 9th, Day's Real Estate on Route 27, 8 am - 2 pm.
