Ongoing Programs

Featured Artists:

March display: artists from Pine Grove School

Rotational symmetry was explored in these 6th grade mandalas. We used inspiration from the Buddhist Monk sand mandalas that are created with precision and meditation daily. Students had the choice to use stencils or try a freehand design to create radial balance.


In our Display Case:

Did you know we have new kid's kits? These educational kits are filled with games, toys, and books on a single topic of interest. Examples include fine motor skills, gardening, spelling, coding, and more! See a list here, and stop by to check one out with your library card.


Would you like to share your art or collectibles with others?

We have been proud to show off so many local artists and collectors in the past! If you would be interested in displaying your work, hobby, or interest in the future, either on our walls or in our display case, please contact us.

Free with your library card:

The Friends of the Rowley Public Library would like to thank our community for the donations and personal involvement that help make it possible to provide programming for all ages, year-round. With tax season still underway, this is a timely opportunity to make a tax-deductible donation to the Friends, a §501c(3) non-profit organization. Donors are recognized with a leaf on the beautiful tree mural in the library lobby. Each leaf represents a shared commitment to lifelong learning and community engagement. Click here to donate and help our tree continue to fluorish.


The Spring Book Sale has been scheduled! Volunteers will be needed to make the event a success, so please consider donating your time once signups are available. All volunteers also get to choose a free book at the sale!

  • Preview Night - 5/1 from 5:30pm-7pm
  • General Public Sale - 5/2 from 9am-2pm

 

If you’re considering getting more involved with the Friends, our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at 7:00pm, and all are welcome to attend, or you can contact us at friendsboard@rowleylibrary.org.


Warm wishes for the start of spring! -- Andrea, Steve, Natali and Siegi

If you're a teen between the ages of 13 and 18 and you have trouble figuring out what to read next, the Youth Services Department has a solution for you!

The YA LitCrate is a mystery box filled with books and goodies for you to enjoy! All you have to do is fill out a form to let us know what you enjoy reading, and we'll give you a call when it's ready to pick up.

The books and box must be returned, but the gifts inside are yours to keep!
