Vernon Friends of the Library

The Vernon Friends of the Library, a non-profit organization formed in 1989, is registered under the Societies Act of British Columbia.

For all donations please call Trish at 250-938-2559. The library will no longer be accepting book donations at the branch. Magazines won’t be accepted for donation.

The major fundraiser is the huge book sale held in early May every year.

Past contributions made by the Friends of the Library include:

  • funding for the Makerspace, Recording Studio and Laptop Lab
  • new furniture and toys in the Early Years Play Area
  • major sponsorship of the Summer Reading Club for the programs and prizes;
  • canopy and tables for outreach work;
  • floor cushions for Toddler Time and carpets for Story Time;
  • new blinds in the upstairs computer lab;
  • author readings throughout the year.

The Friends also hold smaller book sales throughout the year, and provide book bags for purchase at the branch.

New members are always welcome. Anyone interested in more information can contact Linda Wills at 250-549-1466 or lwills41@telus.net or visit their Facebook page.
