Friends of the Library

The Trinity College Friends of the Library, founded in November 1975, is open to all who support the objectives and programs of the John W. Graham Library. The Friends raise funds to support the library through a spectacular book sale held every October in Seeley Hall at Trinity College. Thanks to the generosity of our many book donors and the interest of our valued customers, the annual revenue in recent years has consistently reached or exceeded $120,000.
