What is
a Friend?
The
Friends of Whitman County Library is a nonprofit group interested
in promoting the services and needs of the public library.
Members
lend support through annual donations, the sale of their popular
Cookbook, and taking an active
role at used book sales and other library activities.
The
Friends meet monthly on the fourth Tuesday at 11 am at
the Colfax branch (102 S. Main). Meetings are open to anyone interested
in building and improving library services.
