Friends Endowment Funds

The Friends of the Swampscott Public Library have two endowment programs in place to support programs at the library. One endowment is the Lee Golomb Cadiff Memorial Poetry contest, which is funded yearly to provide support to students in the middle and senior high school who have a love of poetry. The second endowment is the Chorover Memorial program fund. This endowment will be used to fund programs for adults and children and to establish an author series at the library. If anyone is interested in contributing to either of these funds, you may make a tax-deductible donation to the Friends of the Swampscott Library and specify that you would like the donation to be deposited in this account.
