Mission Statement

In appreciation of the role Taylor County Public Library plays in the quality of life in this community, the Friends of the Library provide assistance to the library. This is accomplished through fundraising endeavors and volunteer service. The Friends group functions consistently with the goals and objectives of the Taylor County Public Library and its Board of Trustees. If you would like to help the Friends of the Library in their fundraising endeavors, click "Donate Today" and you will be led directly to the Friends of the Library PayPal account. All donations are used to support TCPL community resources and programs.
