The Friends of the Willow Glen Library is a dedicated group of volunteers who support and enhance the services and programs of the library through fundraising (mainly the sale of gently used books) and volunteer efforts. We maintain the “Friends’ Book Alcove” in the library, and organize quarterly book sales. Through generous donations and support the Friends is proud to have sponsored the Patio Courtyard of the new library.
