What
is Friends of the Library?
Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization
which supports the Rockwall County Library. County funding
cannot cover all the materials and services provided by our
library. The funds donated by Friends supplement existing
programs and provide books and equipment. Members are invited to
3 general and 3 Lunch Basket meetings each year which feature
interesting guest speakers and provide updates on library
programs. Members also receive regular newsletters and the
yearbook.
How
does Friends raise funds?
Memberships are a major source of funding for the
Friends of the Library. All contributions directly benefit
library programs. In addition to memberships, Friends of the
Library raises funds through special events such as the Pumpkin
Patch and Lunch Basket programs.
How
does Friends help the library?
Friends of the Library donates to Reading for Adults to purchase
materials for the literacy programs which includes one-on-one
tutoring, English as a Second Language classes and
Conversational English.
