Donations

Donations are always welcome.  Gifts will be accepted on behalf of the Friends of the Watauga Public Library that are determined to meet the purposes and needs of the Library in accordance with the Library's stated selection policy. The Library will not estimate the value of the materials donated.  The use or disposition of all gift materials shall be made at the discretion of the Library Director and his/her delegates.  They will make the final decision on the acceptance, use or disposition of the gift.  The Library retains unconditional ownership of the gift.  The Library reserves the right to decide how the material will be displayed, housed and made accessible.  The Library will not accept on loan or deposit any books or other materials which are not gifts, except those which are intended for limited display.

Memorials

The Friends of the Watauga Public Library will accept donations of money on behalf of the Library for the purchase of new books and other materials in memory of a relative or friend.  Name plates will be provided by the Library and an acknowledgement letter will be sent to the donor.

Water Bill Donations
The $1.00 donation on your utility bill goes directly to the Library to purchase new materials.  Please take a moment to think of the Library when you pay your next water bill.

Events

The Friends sponsor several fundraising events during the year, including Pet Days at the Animal Hospital of Park Glen, a Membership Drive, and a Book Nook in the Library.  The Friends also co-sponsor a quarterly Lecture Series with the Watauga Sertoma Club and Watauga Public Library.
