Join the Friends
Friends of Wheaton Public Library was started in 2003 to support the library and its mission.
Anyone can become a member by filling out the application and paying the annual dues, which range from $5 for Students to $50 for Best Friends. Membership dues, along with money raised from the annual sales and Book Nook purchases, directly benefit the library, including
- Story House Marsh
- Sunday Concerts
- Summer reading incentives
- Adult and children’s programs
Volunteer! Join our dedicated team of volunteers to work on sorting donations, stocking the Book Nook, and helping at book sales. For more information contact friends@wheatonlibrary.org
