Congratulations to Helena Kaaua who was selected by the Friends Scholarship Committee to be the 2025 recipient of our Scholarship Award. Helena will receive $1,000 to be used toward her continuing higher education. Please consider a donation to the Friends to help us continue this program.
From May 31, 2025 until September 26, 2025, the Friends will be selling raffle tickets for this lovingly handcrafted Dandy Dillos quilt. All proceeds will benefit our annual Scholarship Award program. Tickets may be purchased at either branch of the Westbank Library. The drawing will be held September 26.
The Friends invite you to honor a Veteran through the purchase of a commemorative brick to be installed at the Veteran's Courtyard at Laura's Library. Brick Sales will run through Labor Day 2025. Bricks may be purchased at either library branch or by emailing the order form to the Friends.
For years this group has actively raised thousands of dollars to purchase such things as the Mark Twain Statue, the Backyard Dragon, the Giving Tree, and the Bubble Machines, as well as to provide scholarships to exceptional teen library volunteers. While the goals of the Friends have remained consistent since its inception, the 2013 board adopted the goal of expanding the participation of the Westbank community within the Friends organization.
The Friends are always seeking persons interested in serving on the board.
