Friends of the Bristol Public Library

5 High Street • Bristol, CT USA • 06010 • 860.584.7787

The Friends of the Bristol Public Library, Inc. was formed in 1980 as a non-profit volunteer organization. We depend on the energy and enthusiasm of our members to fulfill our purpose and promote our public library as a cultural, educational and recreational asset to the city of Bristol / Forestville.

We maintain the Friends Bookstore on the Main Library lower level. Stop in and get some great bargains on books and A-V materials. Call the Library X 2033.   Hours

With funds raised through book sales and other activities, we sponsor and support programs, library materials and furnishings not supplied by Library resources.
