Donors and Supporters > The Friends Support Group
The Friends of the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection, founded in 2004, is a not-for-profit organization for people interested in supporting this Collection, and thereby helping to preserve the written history of Bruce Springsteen and his bands.
The Directors of the Friends have been involved with the Collection since its founding in 2001, under the leadership of Christopher Phillips, editor and publisher of Backstreets magazine. Mr. Phillips is president of the Friends, leading a board that includes Anne Noss, vice president; June Lisk, secretary and co-membership chair; Carl Beams, treasurer; Dan Toskaner, co-membership chair; and directors Sandy Wells, Mark Uzzo, and Melanie Paggioli. The Executive Director of the Friends is Bob Crane.
Membership in the Friends is open to everyone who believes that the written history of Bruce and his bands is an essential complement to LPs, CDs, videos, DVDs, and live performances. When you join the Friends, you help us guarantee that thousands of publications from around the world will remain accessible to fans, researchers and historians at the Asbury Park Public Library. You also join us in demonstrating our conviction that a thriving library is vital to the cultural and economic well-being of Asbury Park.
