As in years past, the Friends & Volunteers are helping to start the school year off right for the preschool and kindergarten students at Ocean City Primary School. As the new school year begins this week, each student will receive a gift bag filled with items designed to encourage a love of reading, writing, and drawing.

This is just one of the many projects the Friends & Volunteers are proud to provide for our community in an effort to foster and support literacy.

We wish all Ocean City students a healthy, happy, and successful school year!

How many Friends and Volunteers of the OC Free Public Library does it take to pull off a book sale? A LOT! Organization and dedication by F & V members, under the guidance of Patti Phillips, culminated in a successful end-of-summer book sale, one for the record books!

Relax and read for a few months, but mark your calendars for the Winter Book Sale, December 4 & 5, 2026.
