The mission of the Friends is to foster and encourage community support and participation that benefit the NWPL in its role as a greater Woodstock area cultural center.

The Friends is involved in special fundraising efforts that help the library offer an enhanced library environment and experience that are not achievable within the confines of the operating budget. For instance, donations from the Friends have made possible the purchase and installations of new laptops, a new sound system, STEM resources, a musical keyboard, Children’s Library decorating, gardens and landscaping. Most of our funding comes for annual dues, contributions, our Love Your Library Open House for Valentine’s Day, our annual Spring Concert, our major fundraiser Puppies & Pooches on Parade in late summer. Our Wassail Party for members. To learn more, visit the Friends of NWPL website.
