THANK YOU

Friends of the Whittier Public Library donated $125,000 to support Library programs and services.

Since 1964, the Friends of the Library have continued to support Whittier Public Library by providing additional funding to support Library services and programs. This week the Friends of the Library volunteers (who run the Bookstore on Comstock and Bailey) donated the largest sum to date in the history of the organization. The Library thanks the dedicated volunteers and Whittier community's support. Every Friends of the Library Bookstore purchase goes directly to supporting children's programming and other Library programs and services throughout the year. At prices like $1 per book, that's a lot of books sold! If you add up the annual donations since 1964, the Friends of the Library has given about $2 million. Congratulations to the volunteers and Thanks a Million!
