The Friends of WFPL

Who We Are

The Friends of the Wayland Free Public Library is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of the Library by funding materials, services, and programs not covered by the regular Library budget. The annual membership drive and the ongoing book sale in the Raytheon Room are our major means of raising funds.

What We Do

The Friends provide one-time funding for special projects, such as the website and furnishings for the rotunda and teen space, as well as a dependable source of support for:

• free and reduced-price admission passes to area museums, parks and zoos;
• educational and cultural programs for adults and children;
• the Library garden and outdoor seating area;
• additions to the print, electronic, and audiovisual collections of the library;
• the ESL program;
• the Summer Reading Program; and
• staff professional development.
