Funding

The "Friends of the Westfield Memorial Library" help share information about the library, and fund money for the library. The "friends" were founded over 30 years ago, and since then, have donated more than $850,000 to the library. The money is raised through the annual book sale that is held at the library, and from the donations of the members of the board and the library itself.[ citation needed ]
