Friends of the Rockwall County Library
Friends of the Rockwall County Library promotes the im-
portance of the library to our community and enhances library
programs and facilities through our service.
• We act as a voice and advocate for the library to the com-
munity, the Rockwall County Commissioner’s Court, the
Library Advisory Board and other governmental entities.
• We encourage and support life-long learning and literacy
initiatives for people of all ages.
• We create additional resources for the library, as a 501(c)
(3) organization, by raising money, securing grants and
increasing community support and awareness of the li-
brary.
• We serve in a variety of volunteer opportunities at the li-
brary and within Friends.
• We connect with each other in friendship and through the love of the library and reading.
Friends was formed in 1972 and has served the Library and the community continuously since then. Membership in Friends can be as little as $15.00 for an individual, up to $500.00 for a benefactor. Friends is governed through an elected board of directors. The Library Director or a repre-sentative participates in each Board meeting. Meetings for the public and members are held five times a year - September, October, February, April and May. Special fundraisers are held throughout the year.
Proceeds from Friends activities are used for the benefit of the
Rockwall County Library. In addition to buying books, DVDs
and CDs, the funds are used for the adult literacy program,
summer reading programs for children and adults, special ac-
tivities for children and teens, and subscriptions to newspa-
pers and magazines available in a special reading area.

A Note from President, Madelyn Hill
2020…. What an “adventure” (I’m working HARD to be positive here)! Friends of the Rockwall County Li-brary is finding ways to be flexible, creative, and effec-tive in the midst of the craziness that is 2020. I am so honored to get to lead our wonderful Board of Directors as we navigate cancelled events, masks, and social dis-tancing.
We have an amazing group of Friends serving as offic-ers and committee chairs. We have room for YOU too if you’d like to join in the fun. One of the decisions we’ve made in the interest of our Friends is tabling our fund-raisers for the calendar year. All in person events
(luncheons and others) have been cancelled, pending state sanctions being lifted, but our amazingly creative fundraising chairs worked up a plan for virtual fundraising. However, in light of financial hardships brought about by pandemic conditions, we have decided to wait until things return to more “normal” conditions to hold any fund raisers.
Fingers crossed, our events and Program Meetings will resume in 2021, kick-ing off with a Chico’s Fashion show fundraiser and silent auction in January, and our February Program Meeting Luncheon featuring Carmen Goldwaite spinning tales of “Dames of Texas,” true adventures of Texas women across the centuries and landscapes of Texas. The spring events will continue with fun presentations and opportunities (we hope!).
Friends of the Rockwall County Library supports the Library’s programs ranging from its Children’s programs to adult literacy programs. Your contin-ued support is so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your membership and participation in our events. We would LOVE to have you join us in more ac-tive ways too! Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to plug in to one of our committees or if you would like to serve on our Board. Our Library is truly a jewel in our community and Friends of the Library strive to help it continue to grow and shine!
