Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Waynesboro Public Library is a nonprofit organization founded in 1966 to focus attention on the library's services and needs, and aid in the extension and improvement of these services. Funds raised by the membership drive are used to purchase special library materials and fund programs for children and adults. The Friends of the Library enrich the library and enrich the community. In order to continue to do so, they need your support. You do make a difference!
