What is the Friends of Langley Public Library, you ask. The Friends of Langley Public Library was established as a group separate from the Library’s Board of Directors, to bring together members of the community, who have an interest in the strength and successor of our public library. Our main focus is promoting our Library, and garnering support for its programs and special features. The Friend of Langley Public Library is a 501C3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to assist our local library with needed funding and volunteers. Our members advance library awareness, and promote the use of our library and its programs and resources.
The auction will benefit programming at the Library. Over the last 3 years, our world and our town have lived through turbulent times. Langley Public Library has not only persevered, but blossomed with adaptive programming.
So, get excited about the FOLPL Auction. Get online and bid. Then get ready to enjoy your beautiful find or exciting experience, and, at the same time, help to build and sustain LPL programs.
