Friends of the Library – Established 1996
Mission Statement
To support the West Lincoln Public Library through advocacy, volunteer and program support, community engagement and fundraising.
Who are the Friends of the Library?
Friends of the Library are community members who support the library and its services by providing time and/or expertise. We are volunteers who want to ensure that resources are always available at all three branches of the West Lincoln Library.
Our group participates in community outreach, attends community events, organizes fundraising events to support and promote Library services that are not attainable through library funds, and advocates for a strong public library system in West Lincoln.
