Osterville Village Library

There is evidence of a Friends of the Osterville Village Library as early as 1957. This group disbanded sometime in 1961, and was inactive until early 1981, when a dedicated steering committee worked diligently to reactivate the Friends. At an organizational meeting held in May of that year, 50 people attended. By year's end the Friends membership totaled 137 members. Today, there are more than 200 Friends of the Osterville Free Library. Over the years the friends have sponsored parties, flea markets, penny auctions, and an annual Christmas party. Speaker series programs have featured such individuals as Barbara Bush, Bob Vila, and Jill Ker Conway.
