Pillsbury Free Library Circle of Friends
The Circle of Friends of Pillsbury Free Library is an informal group of people interested in supporting and promoting library services in Warner. The group was formed in 2014 by Joan Warren and Carol McCausland. It meets “as needed” to plan large events or to discuss activities for the year. All are welcome to participate.

Meets every month on the 2nd Wednesday at 1:30 pm at the Library. This book club is open to all.
