Friends of the Library (FOL)

Our library volunteers are very friendly. There's something for everyone to do in our library, from a one time commitment in the evening to a weekly library shift.

Join Friends of the Library

An FOL Membership Drive takes place at the beginning of every school year. Check your child's backpack and/or email from their teacher for information on how to join the FOL. If after the beginning of the school year, contact the librarian for more information. 

Make a Donation

If you want to make a donation, beyond becoming an FOL member, please reach out to the librarian. All donations made are tax deductible.

Engraved dedication bricks are part of the "Pulitzer Prize" FOL membership. These bricks are laid in the GOK courtyard every Spring. For more information, please contact our librarian.
