Who are the Friends?
The Friends of the Wickliffe Public Library are a dedicated group of people working
together for the betterment of the library. They share ideas, finding ways to help the
library by raising money through various programs and projects.
Friends have sponsored book sales, murder mystery plays and funds to our summer
reading programs which are enjoyed by all of our patrons. Your membership, along
with our fundraising, goes far in supplying the rewards and prizes for these programs.
Thank You! Friends are a valuable asset to our library.
