Welcome!
Book Sale in February!
The Friends will hold a February book sale Friday, February 13th, from 10-6, and Saturday, February 14th, from 10-1! Meet us at the Woodland Library (411 Lakeshore) and browse our used book and media collection — lots of thrillers, romances, kids’ books, CDs, puzzles, and more.
This sale will be one of our BAG SALES — which means you can get a great deal on a bag full of books of your choosing. We’ll have two different sizes of bags to choose from. A small bag is only $5 and a larger bag is $10. And as always, all proceeds from book sales benefit the library, helping the staff make programs and services the best they can possibly be. For questions, email friendsofwoodlandlibrary@gmail.com.

(You’ve probably noticed by now that FVRL has a new website. There’s also a new app called “MyFVRL” which you can download on your device of choice. Feel free to ask a staff member if you need help navigating the new site.)
Get Involved at the Library!
We very much appreciate everyone who came out to help with the book sales, levy, and all of the summer reading events. We always like to see new people getting involved! You can always contact the Friends at friendsofwoodlandlibrary@gmail.com for information on our events and volunteer opportunities, or stop by our meeting on the second Thursday of the month at 1 pm at the library. (For December, that will be the 11th.)
Washington Library Association Honors Woodland Library Friends
We are so very thrilled to announce that the Friends of the Woodland Library have received the Volunteer Leadership Award from the Washington Library Association. This award recognizes the commitment our Friends have made and the time and energy they expended towards opening the new library in Woodland in October 2024. Some of the ladies in the photo above have been working towards this goal for over a decade! As “library people,” we’re not always used to accolades, and we continue to be motivated by our shared love of books and this community. We are grateful to all of our volunteers and community partners over the years, to the WLA, and to the FVRL staff who nominated the Friends. What do you think we can accomplish in the next ten years?
Our new library is OPEN!
The long-awaited grand opening of the new Woodland Community Library took place October 12! We were thrilled to welcome over 500 of you to have snacks provided by Friends and the VFW, hear performances by the Minidoka Swing Band and Woodland High School Jazz Choir, and cheer on Branch Manager Jennifer Hauan while she cut the ribbon to welcome the community to your NEW library. We are all very excited to finally unveil the space! Our new address is 411 Lakeshore Drive and we can’t wait to show it off! An immense thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who volunteered and donated to make this happen.
