The Friends of the Library
In Action!
The Friends of the Hopkinton Public Library provides funds for programs and services for all ages that are beyond the library's annual budget. This includes providing funds for performers, speakers and supplies for events chosen by staff for the Children, Young Adults, Adults and Seniors. We also fund the Adventure Passes, organize Lifelong Learning opportunities and run the popular English Language Learner's conversation Circles.

ELL Conversation Circles
The ELL Conversation Circles program is designed to help English Language Learners (ELL) practice vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar in a structured yet fun and comfortable environment. Conversation Circles use guided conversations and real-life situations to build language confidence.
All sessions are held in the Ellsworth room at the library.
