Support the Friends with a SMILE!
The Friends of the Troy Public Library are partners in a program through Amazon. It’s called Amazon Smile, and a portion of every sale completed through that program comes right back to us. Even better, once you set up your account to benefit the Friends, you never have to do anything again – it will automatically route your purchases through the Smile program! Here’s how it works: Go to Amazon Smile via this link: https://smile.amazon.com/ Choose Friends of the Troy Public Library as your charity of choice Shop to your heart’s content!
