About the Friends:
The Friends of the Bloomfield Public Libraries run two
book sales each year, one in the fall and one in the
spring. All proceeds from the sale go to help support
the unbudgeted needs of both Prosser Public Library and
the Wintonbury Branch. The Friends also host an annual
Spring Luncheon which features as keynote speaker a
prominent member of the Hartford area community.
Current President: Judy Poliner,

Monthly Meetings: The Friends hold
meetings in Prosser's Community Room on the first
