Friends of the Library
Friends of the Waskom Public Library
is a non-profit 501(c) (3) volunteer organization comprised of members
who wish to advance the role of the library as a vital community
resource and as institution critical to the culture, education, and
enrichment of our community. Membership is open to the entire community.
The
Friends fulfill their mission by:
- Supporting libraries, literacy and lifelong learning.
- Supporting the Waskom Public Library in its service
to the community through volunteerism.
- Promoting the services and activities of the library
through public awareness.
- Assisting the library in maintaining a welcoming and
user friendly environment.
- Enhancing the library by providing financial support
through gifts, grants, bequests, and other fund-raising efforts.
- Supporting legislation to strengthen libraries
- Building a team of advocates with depth, leadership
ability, and desire to support a premier library program.
- Acting as an advisory group to the library
administration.
Efforts to raise money by
the Friends of the Library are to enhance the financial efforts by
local government, not to diminish them. To that end, the Friends
conduct an on-going sale of books and other materials.
The Friends also conduct an informative demonstration on interesting
subjects for the community in conjunction with their meeting. They also
offer computer classes for the public.
