FRIENDS & FOUNDATION

​

Our purpose:

We work in conjunction with the Library Board and staff to advance and encourage appreciation,
understanding, enjoyment and use of  our library. 

 

​How we serve:

​We use dues from memberships and money generated from book sales and other fundraising activities
to fulfill special needs of the library that fall outside the budget received from the City of Goddard. 
Our volunteers also help with library programs and activities.

 

We work to encourage literacy and equitable access to information for all who live, work, or visit our
community.

 

Recent projects: 

  • Sponsored the 2023 Kansas Reads to Preschoolers program by providing 500 copies of to be distributed to children throughout the Goddard area

  • New and gently used children’s books provided to Clark Davidson elementary school

  • Helped a teacher at Church of the Holy Spirit school to create a classroom library
