About
The Friends of the Robbins Library is a non-profit, volunteer organization with the overall goal of supporting and enhancing the activities of the Robbins and Fox Libraries for the benefit of the local community.
Friends of the Robbins Library Board
Our Friends of the Robbins Library Board is made up of about a dozen Arlingtonians, who meet once a month to organize the Friends’ activities. Board meetings are open to all Friends’ members. Meetings typically are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm in the Robbins Library Community Room or on Zoom (winter months).
If you’re interested in attending a meeting, becoming a Board member of the Friends of the Robbins Library, or would like to receive our periodic newsletter, please send an email to: info@friendsofrobbinslibrary.org.
