OUR MISSION

 

The Friends of the Wichita Public Library advocates for and supports the mission of the Wichita Public Library.

​

In our efforts to support the library, we strive to:

​

  • Provide funding for essential Library materials, programs and services not supplied by normal budget resources.

  • Recognize the service of volunteers for the Library and its support organizations.

  • Promote public support for and use of the Library.

  • Educate members, elected officials and the general public on Library issues.

​

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Friends fulfills its mission of service, advocacy, and support by using the money raised through memberships, donations, and the bookstore and book sales to support the Library.
