Discover the Light of Literacy Awards hosted by the Friends of Wicomico Public Library.
Friends of Wicomico Public Library is a member-supported group of library advocates and fundraisers. Every dollar raised from memberships, book sales, and fundraising events goes directly into the library system supporting programs and services.
Register for a membership today and know that those funds will soon be a Summer Reading kit for a child, a software license for an adult literacy learner, a new 3D printer for STEM programming, or a comfortable chair for patrons in a library branch. Demonstrate to our elected officials and other community leaders the robust, continuing base of support our library system thrives upon.
