Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Whitehall Public Library were established in 1961, two years prior to the library’s formal dedication. They were responsible for raising funds for the library’s original collection of books, and have remained an active group ever since.
The Friends work diligently in their mission to establish and support The Whitehall Library and its mission as the community resource for education, exploration, enrichment and enjoyment by helping to increase public awareness, encourage donations and advocate for library funding.
Anyone can be a Friend
You do not need to be a Whitehall resident to support the Friends, and your donation translates directly to library support.
