Friends of WPL

The Friends of Webster Public Library are library supporters who are committed to strengthening the library and helping it provide the best service possible to the community. They are motivated, hard-working volunteers who enjoy working together! Friends of WPL is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Want to Volunteer?

The FWPL welcomes new members and volunteers. We encourage new volunteers to join one of the many FWPL committees working to support the library.  In addition, the semi-annual book sale offers a variety of opportunities to volunteer. Friends sometimes assist at library and community events.  A small number of Friends sort donations and manage the Lobby Book Store. 

We love making new Friends! If you are interested in making new Friends or volunteering, please contact us at fwplvolunteers@gmail.com for more information. Or join us at our General Membership meeting.  The FWPL meets every other month in the Community Room at the Library.
