In need of a book but the price is looking threatening? Do you want to help out your local library? If you answered yes to one of those questions, the Friends of the Wayne Public Library (FOWPL) is the right organization for you. The Friends program is a volunteer service organization that focuses on building closer relations between our Library and the people it serves. The program also promotes interest in the Library’s activities, resources, services and needs. It serves as a grass-roots organization to support the Library’s goals. This organization is crucial to not only the library, but the entire community. Members work to raise funds for children’s programs including the summer reading program, the Lunchbox Learning and other adult programs, and the Teen Advisory Group of Wayne Public Library.
