FRIENDS OF THE WESTFIELD LIBRARY

The Friends of the Westfield Library


(FOWL) is an organization designed to
promote and support the mission of the
Westfield Washington Public Library.
Through its fundraising efforts, primarily
book sales held in the library and online,
the group raises money used to fund library
programs and to purchase items that are
not in the librarys operating budget.
We will have a nearly new sale in
early December. Nearly new items are
suitable for gift giving during the holidays!
