The Friends of the Woodland Library is an organization of local citizens who support the programs and services of Woodland Community Library through fundraising, promotion, and volunteering. We operate under the umbrella of Fort Vancouver Regional Library Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit. Funds raised by the Friends provide for items and services not within the library’s regular budget, such as refreshments for public events, special performers, equipment or furniture, and now, a new library building!
We work to secure funding for projects and services beyond the library’s operating budget, and to inspire community interest and involvement in the library through outreach and building relationships. We also have a lot of fun!
With that in mind…. Join us! Libraries need Friends and we’re always eager to welcome more. Dues are just $10 per year, and you can be as active in the organization as your schedule allows. Our meetings are held at 1:00 pm on the second Thursday of each month at the new library, 411 Lakeshore Drive. Come share the fun, the benefits, and the vision! You can also email friendsofwoodlandlibrary@gmail.com for more information on membership and volunteering. We need volunteers for tasks from setting up chairs for family movie night, to helping with social media, to planning fundraising events.
Our primary method of fundraising is used book sales. Call our book sales leader Sharon Watt at 360-225-2294 to donate books (no magazines, please). We also hold special fundraising events throughout the year, so watch for those to be announced on this website.
We also welcome donations at any time. While our beautiful new library is finished, our staff still have books, materials, programs, and events on their wish lists, so you can still help make the space even better.
