Friends in Council will be Princeton Public Library cafe sponsor

Princeton Public Library announced the Friends in Council women’s study group will sponsor the library cafe for the month of December.

Friends in Council was organized on July 28, 1880, for the mutual improvement of women by means of reading and studying. The group limited membership to 24 women (later changed to 25) of mature age willing to work and study. Today, the group still abides by a charter, with slight updates and modifications, set by original members in the 1880s. They are limited to 25 members at any given time and meet weekly from October to April (to roughly coincide with the school year).

The support of the Friends in Council serves as acknowledgement of the cafe as an integral part of the Princeton Public Library. The group has utilized the cafe services for their meetings since the cafe’s inception in 2010. The Cafe Sponsorship program was initiated in 2016 to support the cafe while promoting local businesses and non-profit organizations.
