Please join Friends of the Library today. The Friends of Whitman County Library is a nonprofit group interested in promoting the services and needs of the public library.

The Friends meet quarterly throughout the year at the Colfax branch (102 S. Main). Meetings are open to anyone interested in building and improving library services.

What is a Friend of the Library?

A Friend is someone who believes in libraries and wants to help. Friends donate money, they volunteer their time, they tell other people about the library. They do so many things, big and small. Won’t you be a Friend of the Library?
