2008 Events Calendar

The Friends of the Walled Lake Library help our library with donations of time, energy, and money.  The Friends sponsor book sales, raffles, and other fundraising events.  They organize and assist with library programs, including children's programs, and they purchase much-needed equipment and materials for the library.  If you love your library, consider joining the Friends of the Library.

Purpose

The purpose of the Friends of the Walled Lake City Library is to maintain an association of persons interested in books and libraries; to assist in promoting knowledge of and participation in library programs; to aid in providing funds to meet special library needs; to support and cooperate with the library in developing library services and facilities for the community; to stimulate gifts of books, magazines, desirable collections, endowments, and bequests; and to provide a channel for individuals and organizations to express ideas and make suggestions for library use and service as an information center.

How We Raise Funds

The Friends of the Walled Lake City Library raise funds by selling used books daily, seasonal book bundles, “Big Bag Used Book Sales” (Winter, Spring & Fall) and membership dues.  The Friends of the Walled Lake City Library uses these funds to purchase needed equipment and new books for the library.  

Meetings

The Friends of the Walled Lake City Library meet on the 2^nd Tuesday of each month at 1:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the library.  The Annual Meeting is held on the 2^nd Tuesday of April.  The officers are elected to a two (2) year term.  

At our August 14, 2007 meeting of the Friends of the Walled Lake City Library, we honored four of our hard-working members.  Two are founding members – Dorothy Wooton and Gwen Blum.  Dorothy, along with Norma Harden and Mary Zweber, faithfully sort the donated books week after week.  These special women were given small gifts as tokens of our gratitude.  A small party was held after the meeting to thank them and all the others who work so hard at our book sales as well as other events throughout the year.  We have a terrific bunch of volunteers.  YOU are ALL appreciated!

Memberships

Friends of the Library memberships are always available at the Library.  Membership entitles you to discounts on our Friends canvas book bags, a coupon for $2 off any regular used-book purchase, and “early-bird” admission to our “big bag” book sales. 

Won't you please consider joining us, as either a supporter or an active member? 

Volunteer Opportunities

The Friends of the Walled Lake City Library are looking for volunteers to help restock the shelves of the Friends Corner every Saturday.  If you’re interested in helping set-up for or at the next book sale, please leave a note at the library desk for the Friends group.
