Friends
Who We Are
The Friends of the Greenwood Public Library (“The Friends”) are a non-profit organization of citizen volunteers, associated on behalf of the Library. The purpose of The Friends is to be of service to the library, and to the community.
The Friends meet quarterly on the last Tuesday of the month at the library (see calendar for meeting dates). Feel free to attend our next meeting and see what we can do!
What We Do
The major activities of The Friends include:
- Fundraising activities for major projects (such as a new building) or for continuing needs (new materials or equipment) and growth.
- Volunteering to support programs the Library couldn’t otherwise provide, such as delivery of materials to home-bound patrons.
- Telling others in the community about the Library and its services.
- Serving as a citizen lobby, speaking in support of its efforts to local, county, state, and federal governing bodies.
- Purchase the “extras” that the Library needs.
The Friends also sponsor LEAP (Read to The Dogs), Feelings Rock, and refreshments for the Library’s Summer Reading Program.
