Become a Friend of the South Whatcom Library
Join us in advocating for and enhancing the South Whatcom Library! Your membership helps fund vital programs, raise awareness of the library’s impact, and ensure that everyone in our community has access to resources.
Membership Benefits
As a Friend of the South Whatcom Library, you’ll be part of a dedicated group that actively supports literacy, lifelong learning, and community connection. Members receive updates on the latest FoSWL activities, events, and initiatives—plus, the satisfaction of knowing they’re making a lasting difference.
Membership Information
When you become a Library Friend (member), you are committing to an annual donation to the Friends of the Library in the form of membership dues. These funds go directly toward supporting our library with materials and supplies for events.
Our board is made up of all community volunteers and so no membership dues go toward salaries or personnel costs.
As a paid Friends member, you will receive our monthly newsletter which gives you insight into Friends events, volunteer opportunities, board information, voting privileges for our new annual board elections, and more!
