Would you like to be our Friend?
Everyone is a Friend of the Tom Green County Library. But why not formalize the relationship? If you value books and reading you are invited to participate in our projects and activities. As Friends, our purpose is to promote the use of the Library and its many facilities through donations and projects. One of our most popular projects is the Book Sale, held every year. Proceeds from these sales are used for specific projects, such as strengthening the book collection in special fields, and sponsoring programs and activities that enhance use of the Library and encourage reading.
Membership entitles you to a subscription to the annual newsletter and advance notice of activities and book sales. Becoming a Friend is easy. Just print a copy of the membership application, and mail it with your check to our post office address. Here is the application. Membership forms can also be obtained at the Library.
The Friends believe the library plays an exciting and extensive role in our community. We invite your support. The cost is little; the rewards immense.
