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 raise money through various programs and projects.
Programs continue to expand and we hope to see more Friends members participating. We also hope to increase the community’s involvement in our organization, as well as their awareness.
So consider becoming a Friend and get involved by attending a meeting and becoming a part of our team. We could really use your help and welcome your ideas.
