Seeking All Larchmont Writers and Filmmakers
The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library are interested in
compiling a database of local authors. All writers, poets, playwrights
and filmmakers residing or working in the 10538 zip code area are
requested to submit their contact information and a list of their

Who are the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library?
We are interested residents who contribute to the Library in
important ways. Government funding alone cannot finance all the cultural
events that our community currently enjoys. The Friends of the
Library — an independent 501c(3) not–for–profit
organization — provides the money needed for these additional
programs. Please join us and become a member. There are plenty of
opportunities for interested volunteers!
