Friends of the library
Mission Statement
The Friends is a support organization for our local library system, which operates in conjunction and at the request of the Wharton County Library.
Goal
To provide additional financial assistance for library materials, equipment, and/or services from funds the Friends Bookstore and special projects, membership dues, and/or donations.
Volunteers
Friends of the Library eagerly welcome volunteers who would like to work a regular shift in the Bookstore. The volunteers are occupied greeting the public, sorting/organizing book donations to be shelved, cleaning and maintaining the store, and processing all book sales.
Donations
The organization accepts donations of gently-used books and audiovisual materials. Items can be dropped off at the Friends Bookstore at the Wharton Main Library during the Book store operational hours.
Book Sales
Friends have ongoing book sales in the Friends Bookstore located in the main entrance of the Wharton Main Library, 1920 N. Fulton, during the hours 10 AM - 5 PM Monday thru Friday and 10AM - 1PM on Saturday. We also have well-publicized special book sales events.
