	Library of The Chathams Friends of The Library The Friends of the Library of The Chathams are concerned citizens from both Chatham Borough and the Township of Chatham who want to help our Joint Library give the very best possible service to both communities. They raise money for books, materials, services, programs and improvements which the Library could not otherwise provide from municipal funds. They assist in promoting better use of the Library with projects such as art exhibits, home-reader service, storytimes, book sales and community events. They support the Board of Trustees and Library staff in efforts to keep our Joint Library responsive to the needs of the Chathams. Volunteers for Friends' projects such as the big annual Book Sale are always welcome - just talk to a staff person or any member of the Friends' Executive Board: Candice Booker, President Barbara Butta, Vice-President Barbara Montague, Secretary Jean McFadden, Treasurer Joyce Engelbert, Natalie Gibbons, Jean Mattle -serving through 2010; Connie McNamara, Jean Morrissey, Susan Tackaberry, Josie Urbelis, Gerald Walker -serving through 2011; Dot Dunn, Susan Hoag, Ken McCullough, Jane Reiss, Ruthann Wichelman -serving through 2012; Teedee Carroll, John Gardner, Jennifer Haire -serving through 2013; Emery Westfall, -Board of Trustees Representative, Diane O'Brien, Deborah Fitzgerald, and Kathleen Rex -Library Representatives In 2009, 553 households from the Borough and Township joined The Friends of the Library, contributing over $23,000 to help your Library give the best possible service.
