About Friends of Ramsey Library (FORL)
The Ramsey Library Trustees and Borough officials work tirelessly to support the library. FORL members are partners in the process. We believe in the importance of the library to our community, enabling us to work together for the library's future.
FORL contributions help the library staff provide programs for all ages in a warm, inviting space. This is all in part from your contributions to the FORL. You, your family, and neighbors benefit directly from your FORL gifts.
Follow the library and FORL activities on the library's website, e-newsletter, Facebook page, program calendar at the library, local newspaper, Burbio, and Ramsey Journal. Remember to watch for upcoming announcements on the digital sign outside the library.
