October 19-25 and National Friends of the Library week. We love our Friends! They raised $23,700 in their 2025 Fiscal Year, sold inexpensive used books to the community, supported community literacy and sponsored programs and library purchases throughout the year. They add the extra Wow factor that supports great programs, such as the Yule Tide Ball, Family Reading Night, Nitro Joe and much more. https://www.washmolib.org/friends-of-the-library/
