Friend of the Library and former Library Director Martha Gould gets caught reading at the Downtown Reno Library.
Membership is a terrific way to support your local library and stay involved in your community. Your membership helps to promote a love of reading and learning in the community and is a way to participate in enhancing library programs and services.
Membership in the Friends of Washoe County Library helps provide the additional funds required to offer more than the basic library services supported by county tax dollars, now more than ever. The Friends fund programs for children, teens and adults, sponsor special public exhibitions, help build library collections, and help fund continuing education for library staff.
Your membership helps strengthen these and many other important resources for the Washoe County Library and offers you direct benefits. You will receive exclusive premiums, as well as access to special Friends events.
The benefits of your membership include:
- the famous "OOPS" card, good for erasing overdue fines (maximum $3 per use)
- great discounts at Batteries Plus, Dharma Books, Sparks Florist, Sundance Books, Zephyr Books, and at our own store, Secondhand Prose
- subscription to Check it Out, the Friends' newsletter
- invitations to special events
- priority entry to all special activities like booksales and tours
- recognition for your contribution in the community
- opportunities to volunteer
and best of all ...
- ... satisfaction that your tax deductible support enriches the Library, one of our community's most important assets. Together, we can ensure a strong and vital Washoe County Library System.
